Master and Slave

Original title: Isand ja ori

1992 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Enn Säde

Documentary dedicated to the memory of Jüri Müür. The film about how the master of land - the farmer – becomes the slave of land.

The documentary has documented rural life in Estonia in 1991 "from the idyllic to the idiotic" when there was no Land Reform Act. Restoring farms have started on the level of instincts, with unpolished legislation and without the new land readjustment. Perhaps just based on the farmer's sense of mission ... The filmmakers introduce three new farmers who try to build their homes without much thinking of their health.
