The story is about an Estonian Don Juan, who actually is a writer, who leaves home in spring and is brought home again in autumn, by his wife.
Toomas Nipernaadi is a mysterious, but joyful man, who travels from one place to another. He has always some interesting and fantastic stories to tell, and he can make women go crazy.
The film starts like lighthearted comedy, but soon we start to learn more and more about Nipernaadi, the main protagonist, but at the same time not knowing who he actually is. Everywhere he leaves he leaves behind broken hearts and disappointment. The farther his travels take him and the more fantastic his stories are getting, the more he seems to loose himself. He starts to tell his stories with such an energy that it seems he starts to believe them himself, although they are all just fairy tales.
Although enjoyable screwball adventure film it is more deep psychological study of a character - is he sociopath or just simply irresponsible man who leaves his family behind every summer.
Tõnu Kark gives amazing performance, and wonderful landscape shots accompanied with great soundtrack. 'The Adventurer' remains one of the best Estonian language films.
