What it is about
An Estonian drama directed by Veiko Õunpuu. The story follows two main characters, Fred and Susanna, played by Lauri Lagle and Jaanika Arum, in a narrative centred on their ties to family figures and the world around them. The available sources do not describe the setup in detail, so it is best to approach the film without fixed expectations.
How it was made

Peeter Volkonski plays Fred's father, and Jaanika Arum and Lauri Lagle complete the leading cast. Details of the shoot and the project's development are not recorded in the sources consulted.
