“Film for all men with a gentle soul and a bad liver. For those who stand alone in the night. In their underwear.”
Autumn in Estonia, where six people live, six solitudes, prisoners of the monotonous architecture of Soviet-era concrete buildings, in search of human companionship, of love, of a ray of light in an ocean of gray.
