Dans une classe d'un lycée, Joosep, « l'intello », sert de bouc émissaire à l'ensemble de ses camarades. Un jour, Kaspar, fraîchement débarqué de sa campagne, prend sa défense en interrompant les brimades coutumières. Par réflexe plus que par conviction, il faut en convenir. Mais incidemment, Kaspar a brisé la norme, rompu le schéma sociétal confortable installé au sein de la classe. Dès lors, tout bascule. Kaspar est rejeté à son tour. Les autres élèves décuplent leur haine et leur mépris à l'égard des deux moutons noirs. Et Joosep va se sentir exister...

Year 1208. The first Eastward enlargement of Europe is under way. Brutal forces of the Teutonic Order are steadily marching on. In their path live a simple and peaceful people, whose main pastimes include cultivating the earth, singing and, if possible, doing both at the same time. They are the Estonians. Ignorant in the ways of war, they find an unlikely leader in a young boy with Catholic upbringing. In their fight for freedom, the Estonians encounter numerous obstacles, including the Germans, French, Russians and, worst of all, the Latvians. Will they succeed in defeating their enemies or will they experience a cultural awakening?

An immense dissappointment. Instead of a puppy for her birthday she got a father…

A snapshot of one segment of Estonian present-day life, shown through the eyes of a child: 8 years old Lucia is leading a jolly and naughty Pippi-Longstocking-style life in a small town in Estonia. Her father Kaido, a graveyard keeper, can hardly provide for the family, her mother Maria is a drunk. Then the family receives an unexpected invitation to spend a week in Finland, in the house of the female pastor Sipra. This week will change everybody's life in unexpected ways...

Man and Wife have been married for years. Everything is intolerably usual and suffocating routine in their cathedral of love. Something has to change. Do they realize that their cohabitation is not coincidence but God’s plan?

If you've been hit, one day you'll hit back. If you aren't loved, you won't love anyone, either.

There are more than 800 known grove sites in Estonia, the ancient holy places of nature. Groves were protected by the religious customs of rural people and its natural environment stayed intact. This way, every grove formed into an original ecosystem due to local conditions of climate, water and soil. Many groves are well-preserved today, some of them, however, are completely gone except a few landscape marks left behind of its existence. The main value of Estonian nature gradually opens up - the variety of the nature surrounding us. Unfortunately, we are not always able to understand the value as the source of balance and inner force. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, it is worth perceiving the Finno-Ugric boreal life and its richness.
