Synopsis

In 1941, Soviet occupiers removed tens of thousands of people in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from their homes and sent them to prison camps or to Siberia. This is the story of Erna, an Estonian woman, and her young daughter, who struggle to find her way home after facing these horrific events.

MUBI's take

In Martti Helde’s landmark film, the horrors of Soviet deportations from Estonia come startlingly alive through a series of black-and-white tableaux vivants, based on the diary of a real-life survivor. Seemingly frozen in time, the haunting imagery is an evocative embalming of historical traumas.
