En 1912, le premier cinéaste estonien, Johannes Pääsuke, a été chargé de capturer la vie et les gens dans un coin reculé de la campagne estonienne: Setomaa. Il est revenu avec plus de 1300 photos, mais seulement 7 minutes de film. Qu'est-il arrivé au reste?

The film consists of three chapters. The Manslayer takes place more than a hundred years ago. The leading character Maara is a young bride who is about to start her life in her new family. The Virgin, set in the spring of 1949, tells the story of a young woman called Elina, who has been deported from Ingria into Estonia during the previous war. The Shadow moves in the present, on the border of real life and fantasy. The main character, Luna Lee, has decided to flee from home. Is there anything besides emptiness somewhere? The film is led by the singularity of the leading character - Maara, Elina and Luna Lee are all played by the same actress.
