The journalists write, the politicians tremble, the Estonians curse, the Russians despise, and the secret service watches. All of this is caused by Esja Sur, a 68-year-old Russian living in Estonia, who spends her retirement organizing protests, meetings, and presentations.

The story, unfolding in Estonian reality, persents the life and destiny of a woman always throwing herself into battle against someone or something. The hero of the film is surrounded by colorful characters and absurd situations.


Meelis Muhu was born in Paide, Estonia, in 1972. He has worked as a producer as well as a director.
