A kind of ethnographic half-documentary - and not too catchy
BeneCumb29 December 2020
The benchmark is more than okay, all major persons involved in making this film are known in Estonia and obtained certain fame abroad as well. The milieu is pleasantly nostalgic and beautiful good-old scenery provides additional value... But the story is somewhat vague, with some predictable solutions, and some motives why certain characters behaved in the way as depicted makes you scratch your head... Anyway, the viewers obtain additional information about the history and traditions of the Setos, and the performance of the stars (particularly Tõnu Kark as Sergo) is really entertaining.

This film could be partially attract interest among max Latvians and Finns, max. The era and story are too distant to those far away (I am unable to watch and enjoy similar things happening in 19th century Greece or Slovakia, for example).

Characters, background, performances - 8, narration, smoothness - 6 points.
