How to live knowing that you might never know joy in day-to-day life? That you will never know the true pride from your work? That there is no meaning, no goal, no hope for improvement? That life will continue and you have to get used to it and also to the idea that it might go on for a long time and, worst of all, it is almost impossible to put up with it in a dignified way? Shoddy housing, meagre food, poverty and the extensive coarseness below and stolid indifference above. Where should we head to, cattle for slaughter, and how is it possible to participate in all this, without losing our humanity and the last bits of our lust for life? Veiko Õunpuu’s third full-length movie tells a story of a promising young man with exciting career opportunities and a looming marital bliss.
