synopsis
The documentary unveils the hidden and colorful facets of beloved Estonian writer Leelo Tungal, taking the viewer on a journey through her life, her family and national values—all shaped by the shifting winds of social and political change across decades.

This is a film about Estonian identity, kindness, and the search for laughter even in the face of hardship.
