    Emotional and deep
    Another unique film by the Estonian director Veiko Õunpuu. Too bizarre in some places near the end, but still a very emotional and deep picture. Like in his last film 'Sügisball' ('Autumn Ball'), many scenes feel fresh and inventive. Which is a very rare thing these days.
