Synopsis

Tallinn: the capital of the small country of Estonia, between Russia and Scandinavia. The pace of the city is evoked through its streets, architecture and people. The film travels from the old city center to the suburbs, often making stops at various neighborhoods to hear the thoughts of Estonians. A journey to the accompaniment of electronic pop music by the Estonian band Antonina. In modern-day Tallinn, the skyscrapers encircle the medieval town and romance succeeds modernism in a country of socially sensitive people. The impassive objectivity of the camera creates a pleasant visual impression with no tendency towards drama.
