Estonia deserves an Oscar for that!!!
13 January 2001 | by moose-75See all my reviews

This is the greatest achievement in the Estonian history. If Estonia would have been independent at the time, this movie would have got an Academy Award. Anyway it's a masterpiece, that makes me proud to be an Estonian!!!
