Synopsis
We tell the stories of people who came to Estonia during the Soviet time to work on the Dvigatel factory allocated an allotment for growing vegetables near the factory. They soon started to plant their crops, build small summerhouses and trade allotments with each other. The story of their allotment gardens is an allegory of the fall of the Soviet Union, as seen through their eyes. The owners of the allotments all have different ethnic origins, and hold passports of different former Soviet states. Earlier this year, Tallinn airport is to clean up this area in order to build new runways. Expansion plans call for all the plots within 1 kilometer of the border to be bulldozed. In only a few days, the last pages of Soviet history will be turned. Progress is knocking on the door of history.
