Andres, are you sick?
Andres?
It's okay, you go on. Oh, damn.
Karla, call an ambulance, Andres is not feeling well. Karla!
ESTONIAN FUNERAL
Excuse me, do you have a moment?
Can we talk about your pension pillars?
Hello, miss, do you have a moment? - No!
Maybe just one moment...
Excuse me, madam, do you have a moment?
Yes, that is pretty much all I have left.
I have a question? Do you know, in what pillar is your pension?
I don't know anything about these pillars.
Well, we have a brand new offer.
You know what, young man, find a job and do something useful.
This is my job, helping people!
I don't know, work means that you do something with your own hands.
Have a nice day, madam!
Hello, excuse me, could you...
Hi! - Hi!
Have you thought about your pension plans?
Do you really think I look so old that I should think about pension?
I'm sorry, you speak Estonian.
Don't I look like an average Estonian?
Average, of course you do, I'm really sorry...
I'm such a fool!
I don't know about that,
but you're definitely too young to sell pension.
So what should I sell?
Sun. - Sun?
Oh, so I should work in a travel agency and sell travel plans?
That's not what I meant.
There you would also be stuck with your desk and laptop.
I'm not stuck with anything. - Yeah?
Yes! I'm a free man!
Really? This is sad. - Yes! What is sad?
That a free man is bothering passers-by like this.
Hard to believe, that someone would do it voluntarily.
You have to live on something!
If you say so!
I can leave here at any time!
Yes? What time is it then?
It's about three o'clock.
Where would you go then? - Where would you go?
I don't know, I was thinking of going to the cafe.
Can I come to the cafe with you?
Cafes are public places. Of course you can come to the cafe.
If so, then...
Young man! - Yes.
I thought maybe we should discuss this pension thing.
Yes, of course, you know what. Unfortunately, we are closed today.
Closed?
Turned out that I have to go and do something with my own hands.
Have a nice day, madam.
Damn. Hello!
Hello! Is this Maret?
Yes, I'm listening.
Iida here! Can you hear me?
I hear very well. Did something happen to dad?
Do you hear me? - What's wrong with dad?
Well, what's wrong with him, he died.
Oh God...
Well, I was on my way to the store and saw old Andres lying there.
I thought, what's wrong with him,
because Andres is not a drunk like my old man.
Woman, don't talk nonsense! - You shut up!
What? - Oh, no, I said that to Karla.
Oh God.
Well, yeah. That's the fate of an old man.
The children are in town and have more important things to do.
Yes, they only come here for the summer and to steal the women of other men.
And then there's nothing but... Kamchatka!
Where is dad now?
Look, I ran home right away, we called an ambulance.
They took him away.
Hello?
So, I'm a drunk, yes?
Nettles are growing in my yard.
Some men just drop dead here, but you see - I live!
An animal lives too, but what a life it is!
What do you mean, a day off?
Health day? What about Väino?
Kindergarten party?
What? Who is going to drive out then?
The customer is waiting!
What? Damn monkeys!
Just incredible apes.
Now it looks like I'm driving myself, I'll set up this pump up myself.
Unbelievable!
I have to close the store, I have no one to leave behind the counter!
Now what, who else is gone?
Sass! What are you talking about? Dad is gone!
Where did he go?
Iida just called, dad is dead. We have to go there immediately.
Oh damn...
I don't have any time at all right now. I'm drowning in work...
There are no men! Everyone is in kindergarten! Damn...
Leave everything, let's go.
Yes. No. As always. Of course, Maret!
Sass!
Just try to calm down now.
I'll finish things here and then I'll come and...
See you!
Well, Mr Pump, I have to go now, too.
You're going to install you yourself!
Now I also have... an event!
Damn, did I have to go riding today?
Jesus, maybe it's Irina? Forgive me, I have to take that call.
Oh, Maret.
Yes, Maret, please speak quickly, I'm at work.
Indrek!
I have very sad news for you!
Dad is gone!
Dear God, Maret!
When did this happen?
I don't know. I think this morning. When cutting wood...
I don't know...
I guess the heart gave up.
Oh dear...
Yes, dear sister,
our father was just like an Estonian father should be!
Worked until the last breath!
It was a beautiful death.
Indrek, what are you talking about! What beautiful!
Sass and I will drive right there, will you come too?
Yes. No! No, I'm sorry.
You know I really want to come, but I'm like a squirrel on a wheel,
I really can't today.
I have a lecture...
and then a very long team training what lasts god knows how long.
Too bad. We're going.
Yes, wait, wait...
Maret, please be sure to let me know when the funeral is.
Our father deserved a beautiful funeral.
Dad died.
That's mom... Yes.
Andres, this is mom!
You know, grandpa is dead!
Oh.
Yes. Dad and I are going there right now.
Too bad it happened on Friday,
now the funeral will definitely end up on a workday.
You're coming to the funeral, aren't you?
Yes, of course.
Well, see you then, be good.
Ciao!
What happened?
Grandpa is dead.
It's strange, I haven't been there for years.
Why? - I don't know.
Weird day, I'm running away from work, grandpa is dead,
I'm sitting with you in this cafe...
Weird, yes.
You left work, but I want to escape from here at all.
Soon the plane will go and...
Where?
Somewhere where there is no constant talk of work and money...
There are no such places!
You can still dream. Everyone is rushing somewhere.
Going to work or coming from work.
Let them! I'm going to sleep instead and sleep as long as I want.
I could also...
I don't know, go to sleep or whatever.
I'm out of work anyway.
So what? I haven't been anywhere longer than to the first payday.
I can't do that. Where are you going, by plane?
To Malaga,
they need someone to collect the deck chairs of German tourists.
You're out on the beach all day, sunbathing,
and in the evening you gather the chairs, and that's it.
And when the beach season ends?
Well, then you go somewhere else. To Tunisia or Rhodes or...
Yeah?
And the oranges keep falling.
Just take it and put it in your mouth.
No need to go to the store. - You don't need anything there.
It makes me pretty jealous, if I imagine
how you are soon somewhere under the palm trees.
Eating oranges. - Falling into your mouth.
Good morning, Mr pension seller.
Good morning.
Miss, can you tell me what pillar you are in right now?
I don't know those pillars. But it seems to be the seventh.
Look, we have a brand new package.
Could the gentleman do something with his own hands?
Of course, what ever the customer wishes.
Hey, when is your plane leaving?
Next week.
What do you think, there in Malaga or...
In the land of oranges. - Yes.
Would they need another deck chair carrier?
I don't know. I guess we could carry them together.
Are you thinking of coming... - Well, yes.
I'm not any more a... - Mr pension seller?
Exactly. I have nothing to stay here for.
Would you really come with me?
I'd come to the end of the world with you.
My grandfather's funeral...
Hey, let's just step through there and we're gone.
Would you come with me? - Yes!
I'm coming to the funeral with you and you will come with me,
where orange trees grow.
Yes, like people who are together.
Are we together?
No, I don't know!
Fool! Of course we are together!
Dear... dear people.
I can't...
Honey, sit down, I'll speak myself.
Calm down...
Yes, I would like everyone's attention for a moment.
Maret and I want to thank everyone who took the time to come here.
During the busiest working hours it is not easy at all.
We all have something left to finish,
like our father could not finish wood cutting...
I guess we would have come on the weekend to chop wood
but well, old Andres could not wait.
Oh, look who's the woodcutter now.
Oh, sorry.
Yes...
I'd like to propose to raise glasses in memory of old Andres!
His work is done now!
In memory of our father.
We've seen all kinds of men, workers and storytellers and...
We've seen all kinds of drunks as well. I'm sorry..
You, woman, don't interfere, when I'm developing a topic here...
Calm down...
This is really good meat...
Damn!
Sit down!
Oh God.
Wait!
This way.
Hello ladies!
We are so late...
Hey, what do you say when they ask who I am?
I don't know, I'll say that I picked you up by the road,
or I'll say I married you.
And they would believe you? - I don't know.
Wait...
Almost...
All right.
Hi mom. This is Lee, my girlfriend.
Oh, how nice... Oh dear, a negro...
(in Russian) Hello! - No, I'm Estonian.
The Estonian language sounds great. - Oh, Estonian.
I'm Andres' mother. Come inside and eat something!
We ate at the gas station, we don't...
Don't be silly, a whole potful of potatoes is waiting...
Why did you cook them so much then!
Very good that we cooked! So many people came!
I don't know who they are all!
The room is full of strange old women.
Old women, but such drunks!
It's a beautiful wake.
You have arranged everything so nicely.
My son Andres and this is...
Lee! - Lee.
Grandpa was Tiit's godfather.
Yes, I'm old Andres' godson.
A pleasure.
So you have the same name as your grandfather?
I had the same name as my father -
Tiit, the name stays!
Come, Tiit, come back to the table. Did you take the cake?
Yes, two pieces. You have delicious potatoes.
We grow them ourselves, we have a big field behind the house.
Tiit, are you leaving already?
It would be polite, but my bus leaves in the evening.
So I have to bother you a little more.
It's no bother! I'm so glad to see you again!
Too bad, that we become strangers in this way!
What to do, life tears people apart...
Karla, you're drunk as a skunk.
No, I'm not... - Get up!
Get out of here!
It's so beautiful here!
I spent all the summers of my childhood here.
It was very boring.
Oh, spin, coo some cunning story,
you, the youngish soldier with a golden star...
Grandpa worked like an animal, even when it was raining.
Then he pulled on a greatcoat and just worked.
But it is beautiful here.
The nights are so white, and pass so damn quickly...
Hey, can you hear a water spring?
No! There has never been a water spring here.
There is a river in the valley.
Oh, a negro.
No, you may call me black.
Black. Negro. No problem.
Wow!
He shouldn't have been chopping wood at all!
I saw him coughing like a horse.
I told him, for heaven's sake, go inside!
Sass would have chopped the wood!
We were supposed to come here this weekend,
but we had so much work at Sass' house in Pärnu.
Last Saturday I went to the garden at seven in the morning,
and I finished weeding at ten in the evening!
It's hard in two places...
I also have so much work,
my legs and arms hurt so much in the evenings.
My old man is also always drunk, he's no help at home!
I have to do everything myself!
At least you live here. Andres come here!
It would be nice if we lived nearby.
Now this house is on our necks too!
Don't keep it then! - Andres, what are you talking about?
This is my father's farm! The same goes for dad's house in Pärnu!
Andres, who is this nice girl with you? Girlfriend?
So tanned...
This is a very nice girl. Her name is Lee.
Andres, you look so strange now.
See how strangely your hair has grown!
Two twists.
My grandmother always said that who has two twists in the hair,
dies of drowning.
Iida, don't be silly!
No, I don't know anything, old people were talking.
So, a girlfriend?
No, Lee is not my girlfriend. She's my wife.
What? Andres, what are you talking about?
Yes. We are married.
Dear Lord! Mom doesn't know anything about it!
This is a good joke!
Andres, why did you do it like this?
Why didn't you tell us? We would have liked to come.
Mom and dad were not invited to the wedding?
I've never heard of such a thing.
We didn't have a wedding. We just got married.
Tomorrow we will go on a honeymoon.
Where then?
Where the orange trees grow...
Heaven forbid, to Africa?
Dear child, don't go there, terrible people live there.
Sass! Sass, come here!
Where did you disappear, Maret?
People want to say goodbye but you are not there!
Wow, our boy arrived, finally!
Sass! Andres got married!
What? - Andres got married!
That's a trick now!
That's why you didn't make it to the funeral?
Wasn't there a wedding? - No.
Tomorrow we go on a honeymoon.
Congratulations then, son!
Remember what party we had, Maret!
Damn! Three days!
And we were very poor then, we lived in a one-room apartment.
At that time, everyone was poor. It was a poor time.
Yes, it was. So where is your wife?
Went somewhere. She’ll be back soon. - Oh, it all came so suddenly!
Come, Andres, let's go tell uncle Indrek too!
Maybe you'll become a father at the same time with Uncle Indrek.
He also has a new wife. What is she, fourth?
Be quiet, third. - Hey, I'm not coming anywhere!
There are still those mourners.
They're all long gone, only the old women are still at the table.
Who are these women?
They're not from here, probably saw the funeral announcement.
They told me they were grandpa's schoolmates.
Schoolmates! They saw the announcement and ran to the wake! Shameless!
Hey, let the old hags eat! For God's sake, we have plenty of food!
They're not eating! They drink vodka!
I'll go find Karla, before he gets completely messed up.
Let him drink!
Tell me, how did it come so suddenly?
I don't know. Sometimes things come suddenly.
We haven't seen each other in months and...
Yeah, I have so much work to do, that there's no time to go to the toilet.
Now these grandpa's houses need our care.
Tell me who's going to pick the potatoes this fall, I don't know.
Why pick them? Don't have money to buy potatoes?
What are you talking about?
Why should we buy potatoes in the store?
Our own potatoes have a completely different taste!
And look, boy.
Your ancestors have lived in these houses for over a hundred years!
Every log here can give you a lecture on Estonian history!
Oh, damn!
Karla, damn it!
What, are you stupid or something?
Where, show me?
Wait, I'll help you get up.
Where were you? - By the river.
Hey, is the wake finally over? - What wake?
Oh, yeah.
They were looking for you, they wanted to congratulate you.
We must have gone a bit too far with this marriage story.
A bit! They think I kidnapped you.
Damn it, get up, you drunk! Go home!
Let him be now.
What? - Woman, don't you...
Get up!
Where are you going?
Karla, your home is on the other side.
Jesus!
What is it?
It's a warehouse!
Grandpa collected everything all his life, that maybe there will be deportation.
Then there is no need to go to the store before they send you to Siberia,
pack your backpack full of stuff and off you go in an animal wagon.
I feel a strange heaviness here.
What is this?
You want to see? Hold it!
Come!
Come down! Come on!
Maret! The guests are almost gone, what do you think if you and me...
Jesus, Sass, what are you thinking, not now...
The children are still here...
We'll just walk away for a second, no one will notice.
You are so... I don't know... - It doesn't give me peace.
All right, quickly then. - Yes, yes.
Help, I'm falling. - Carefully.
This way. Please.
Oh my god.
Exactly.
Damn city slickers! You have traps everywhere!
You want to kill an honest country man!
Still with tricks, behind one's back...
Are you coming already? - How can I come, I'm still pushing.
Push so I can feel it. - Like this?
Wait!
I'm really starting to believe that it's a scary house,
which devours all the apples and currants into its stone belly...
Why don't you eat them straight from the bush?
No one can eat that much.
But the birds...
No, birds don't get anything! Everything is covered with nets.
Such a vicious house.
What do I hear! Now that is news. That is something!
Young people don't care if there's death in the house.
No, they don't! Death is big, but love is even bigger!
Here you go, madam.
And he really just went and got married?
Yes, with a completely black woman.
What do I hear!
What do my ears hear? Come here, darlings, come here!
Boy, oh-oh-oh!
My dear nephew got married! And so secretly!
Do we have a bride kidnapping here or what?
On the contrary. I kidnapped him. I'm sorry!
Today, women are the stronger side, I know for myself.
And he tells me that today, at his grandfather's funeral!
Congratulate them!
This is Lee and this is my father and uncle Indrek.
Anyway, that's nice.
Yes. Congratulations. - That is...
Well, I'll see you later. - Yes.
Oh, it's sad that your grandfather didn't hear the news.
Oh, he would have been happy.
Because everything has to be passed on from generation to generation.
People disappear, but our Estonia stays,
and as long as your village lives, you will live!
Now, that's very true.
I look and weep when I see
how many farms have gone to the Swedes or Finns.
They sow grass everywhere and just sunbathe.
Don't talk about these vacationers!
They can't even sharpen a scythe!
When summer comes, they just lie there, belly towards the sky!
I've never been able to rest or sunbathe here.
Maybe only while weeding, but no!
There is no resting in the country! Especially in summer.
Summer is the busiest time! - Exactly!
In winter, maybe you can get some rest,
but I live in the city in winter, there I have a main job.
You can't be lazy in the country in winter!
You need to chop wood, and shovel snow and...
Yes, we'll have to come here as well with Sass,
I don't know, after work in the evenings or on the weekends.
And we still have the house in Pärnu...
That's right! As long as you breathe, you must work,
you can rest in grave.
Yes Tiit, that's well said.
You have to force yourself. For example, our father, sorry -
did he ever allow himself to be lazy?
No, never.
Do you remember when a snake bit dad's leg?
Of course I do, it was awful!
Dad's leg swelled like a pack of wood.
Yes, but did he stay in bed? No! Come!
He needed to get the hay done, and dad went to the meadow, from here.
He screamed but got the hay staked!
Did the weather forecast promise rain? - What rain?
No. I don't know...
Look, it doesn't matter, what is important,
is that a countryman does what he has to do.
He wakes up with a rooster, and goes to sleep with a...
Chicken. - Who?
Chicken. - Yes, a chicken.
And then dad went from here.
We weren't told many things. Look, again wood.
Tell me Andres, what are your plans now?
What are you doing in the summer? Come here, there's so much work to do.
Look, the bottom logs need to be replaced.
I don't know. I'm going on a trip tomorrow...
Africa is a horrible country!
My uncle went to Brazil before the Russians came
and he wrote from there, that they have a negro living in the house
and that they eat cats!
Hey, we're not going to a place where they eat cats!
We're going to see the orange trees, not to eat cats.
What's there to see?
One decent Estonian cucumber is much better than orange.
Oh God, fresh cucumber now.
Pickles, yes!
Karla!
Karla, what are you doing?
Now I have to start over.
Listen, you won't be staring at those orange trees forever.
Andres, we're doing all this for you.
Dad, if you want my advice, then sell this house, honestly.
Don't be silly! Sell the house?
Hey Maret, you can't sell this house.
Don't step on a wasp, there's a lot of them here right now.
Hey, what can a wasp do to the country boy's foot!
Only gives some boost!
Under no circumstances may the father's farm be sold!
My father's farm is destroyed;
when I came from Siberia, everything had burned down.
Deliberately set on fire? - Definitely!
Karla, damn it, where are you? - What are you shouting?
Oh, it's you, my dear.
Fortunately, a few photos have survived,
and I used them to make a model of my father's farm from matches.
I made all the apple trees from cotton wool.
And I made a little dad, standing on the stair...
Wearing a hat...
I look at sometimes and think, how beautiful everything once was...
Do not commit the sin of selling your father's farm!
Of course not, Tiit! Dad would turn around in his grave!
If Andres doesn't have time, we can handle it with Sass.
We always have.
You, Maret, you're a rare woman.
I'm a city slicker, I know that, but you're a true salt of the earth!
I also live in the city. - No, it doesn't matter.
A person can even travel to Africa,
but our roots still reach us.
A country bumpkin remains a country bumpkin. That's it.
Maybe your orange trees can't save me?
Maybe I'll start cooking jam from them right away?
No, these oranges don't make jam or juice.
Let's just agree that these trees are still in bloom.
Nice.
Maret, you're a mother-in-law now! A mom-in-law!
Indrek, it's dad's funeral today!
Mom-in-law! Mom-in-law, listen to me and...
Ouch! Damn, it stung me.
I told you so! Only a fool walks barefoot in the country.
It's nothing, it's only healthy!
I think that if we're all here together,
we could still properly celebrate the wedding of Andres and Lee.
I don't know, is this okay?
I guess we could drink for the health of young people.
Old Andres wouldn't have resented it.
Should we go inside? - No, Maret, let's stay here.
The grass under our feet, ancient logs around us,
this is the right place.
You sit here, on this wood chopping stump and...
Oh God, how I like to chop wood, it's the proper man's job!
It's the same pile of wood, where old Andres died.
This is symbolic.
One generation gets tired and a new younger one will take its place!
And the work will never end,
just as the world will never run out of workers.
Damn.
Chopping wood makes you sweat.
Ouch, damn it.
Indrek, go sit in the anthill with bare ass,
they say it's also very healthy.
Maret, should we clink classes with the young couple or what?
I'll bring classes and make some coffee.
Iida, come and help me.
Maret, Maret. I'll help too.
Give me vodka, I should smear it with vodka.
I have to be alone for a while.
Karla, why are you so quiet today?
Why should I scream, women do it anyway.
And this man of your wife's...
Who are you talking about?
Your wife's brother.
Indrek?
He's a chatty one, could talk your ears off.
He's a storyteller, yeah.
Talking is actually his job,
but ask this man do something with his hands...
You city slickers are all the same.
What are you saying, I was born in the country, we had animals and all!
This house of yours in Pärnu, it's no countryside.
You even have plumbing there.
When I was born then there was no plumbing.
We didn't even have electricity!
Pärnu is the capital of vacationers! A resort!
Eat ice cream and watch naked women!
Twice in my life I've been to the beach of Pärnu, and that was in winter.
Then there were no women or ice cream!
How can you say I'm a city man?
Yes, you are, you are!
Don't you remember how you got Maret!
Karla, you're drunk, go to sleep.
The hell, I'm not going. You're not the boss of me.
You can't even hold an ax.
Karla, you're rambling.
I'm not rambling, I'm telling as it is.
What happened, Lee?
Andres, I'm sorry, but maybe we should go?
We can't, they want to congratulate us.
If we leave now, we have to listen for the rest of our lives,
how ungrateful I am and so on.
True. But it's all so surreal.
Tell me about it!
Maret should have come to me,
we have been together since we were children.
Then Maret went to the institute
but I couldn't go, because my father died.
Then Maret came home to visit
and said, Karla, we're going to Kamchatka with the students now!
And invited me with her.
Why didn't you go then?
The potatoes had to be picked up.
Who would have done that, huh? My sick mother?
She died in that field.
And Maret went to Kamchatka with you.
And when she came back, she was already your girlfriend.
Hey, I've been to Kamchatka once in my life!
Now you blame me for it all the time!
Well, this wandering around is what city slickers do.
But that you take our women, this is a shitty trick!
You have a wife! A decent and hardworking person!
You have worn her out! - You don't know anything about that!
You go to mow the nettles from your yard first,
then come rambling in our yard!
What do you think you're doing?
Don't you remember how you were drunk in the woods
and hurt your foot with a saw!
Look, Sass is also chopping wood, why don't you yell at him?
I have no business with Sass, he can chop as much as he wants,
it's his wood.
And Sass isn't so drunk either, he can drink!
Yes, he can.
The city man is always the better man, yeah.
You see, Karla, I understand you very well.
Me too, as soon as I see the ax and the wood,
my hands start to itch right away.
Indrek, come and chop our wood when our hands itch.
If only I could.
But you know, I'm like a squirrel on a wheel.
Now let's drink to the health of the young couple!
Too bad we don't have champagne, but it's not bought for funerals...
No. Vodka is best, it is the purest drink.
But where are the young people? Andres!
Andres? - Leave it.
Come.
Well, let's do it!
Oh, Maret!
Oh, here you go. - Thank you.
To the young couple! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss!
One, two, three...
Congratulations, children.
Go away!
Too bad, it happened on such a day.
That means, bad, yes. That's not good!
Iida, don't say that.
Tiit, where were you?
Tiit, come here!
We're celebrating the wedding of Andres and Lee.
Very nice. Very nice!
I walked around a bit, my heart began to ache.
I took a pill...
Do you have a heart condition?
Oh yes. These damn doctors, they know nothing.
Mr Berendsen, my mentor, he always said:
"Boy, a man is not a caterpillar!"
Who was this Mr Berendsen? A Jew?
He was not a Jew!
He was a stranger, but brought me up as his own child!
And raised a human of me.
He never left anything unfinished.
There are no such men today!
Yes.
In my company also - the men keep watching the clock,
and then say that, boss, working hours are over!
But God forbid - the work is not done yet!
Yes. - Yes, exactly!
People are getting smaller.
Do you want some salad?
Yes.
You don't want? So I have to take it?
Andres, come here. The glass cannot be empty.
Hey, I very much welcome your choice.
I think you have a good eye. And I'm happy about that.
It makes me really happy.
Are you proud of me?
I'm proud. - That is good to hear.
Too bad, the moment is so... Come on, let's go.
Mr Berendsen was an electrician, but his vision began to disappear.
That's why he got electric shocks all the time,
until finally the shock was so strong that...
He was eighty-nine years old!
If I listened to the doctors, I shouldn't do anything at all
but I don't listen to them, I'm listening to Mr. Berendsen instead,
for his words are worth remembering!
Tiit. - Yes?
Hey, be a good man, give me the pruning shears,
so foolish of me, I forgot to take them. - Yes.
Come up... - Yes.
I'll show you. - Tiit!
No-no, you're not going to work right now!
Why not? - Calm down now, Tiit!
Come on up, Tiit. - Come down.
Did you see...
We're celebrating our wedding today! Let's dance!
No-no, today is dad's funeral, is this okay?
It is a bit weird, but well, why should I say anything!
It's none of my business!
This is Georg Ots! Father's favorite!
We can listen to that. - Yes.
Lee, what are you thinking?
Let's dance! - Dance, what?
Well, I don't know... It's kind of like...
We shouldn't today.
I'm not saying anything, it wasn't my father.
I don't care, do what you want!
Madam, dancing is not a sin!
As Mr Berendsen said, it's not a party without dancing!
Madam, may I?
Oh God, I don't know... - I'm asking you to dance!
A man is barely buried, when the dancing starts!
Here comes tango!
Iida, look, the grief, it's in the heart. In the heart.
Would you dance with me? - I'm not coming anywhere.
Okay.
You let her go? Wait! You have to hold on to her!
And twist!
Oh, girl, don't pull me!
You need to twist, damn it!
Hello!
Jesus, what are you doing here? Dancing?
My dear. Thank you.
We here... oh, yes.
We're celebrating the wedding of Andres and Lee!
Wedding? - Yes.
My boy made such a joke that he got married in secret.
So what can we do? Tomorrow they go on a honeymoon.
No, of course! No problem! Congratulations!
Thank you! This is Lee and this is Irina, my uncle Indrek's wife.
You're going on a honeymoon. Where are you going?
Where orange trees grow...
To Morocco? Oh, how cool!
We're going riding with Indrek on Sunday.
Right? - Yes.
I adore horses!!
Indrek, when will you buy me a horse?
Hey, honey! Horses are expensive, they are more expensive than a car!
You also like to ride!
Wow, have you, Indrek, started riding too?
Yes, so what?
It's silly to sit at home when you have a day off.
I won't have time on a workday, I get home at eleven o'clock.
Such long days?
No, thanks, I don't drink vodka.
I work out and swim after work and learn French -
we have some French people here all the time,
we need to take care of them.
You are very, very good.
I zpeak zo ghood Frenzh...
Yes, Ots had a great voice!
Tiit, this is Indrek's wife Irina.
A pleasure. - A pleasure.
Tiit Hansen.
Would you like to dance?
Jesus, I just came. But why not.
You don't mind? - With Tiit, never.
This Tiit is a true cavalier!
A single man, of course. Runs after every skirt.
Iida, don't say that!
Tiit is a very serious man. And suffered a lot!
Who among us has suffered any less here in Estonia!
We live at a crossroads - everyone has passed here,
Russians and Germans.
Our grandfather was a young man when the Russians came in,
then soon the Germans were there - wanted to take him to the army!
My grandfather went to the German army
and his brother went to the Russian army.
And at the Battle of the Blue Hills they fought against each other,
and they died on the same day!
That's the story of my family!
Yes. Fate has kept scattering us.
I think they were killed by the same bullet.
The bullet went in my grandfather's nape
and came out from his forehead,
but for my great-uncle, the bullet entered from his forehead
and came out from his nape.
Damn.
But who shot them like that?
There have not always been traitors.
There is no shortage of them even today!
You city people should know it!
Thank you.
My grandfather was also in the German army,
but he didn't get shot, just taken to Siberia!
The wolves ate my grandmother and grandfather!
No!
My mother and father died in Siberia!
And my five brothers, they all died there!
We had barely arrived, when the first brother died on Monday!
Another brother died on Tuesday and on Wednesday the third!
The fourth died on Thursday and the fifth brother died on Friday!
And then mom and dad thought, that I will die on Saturday,
but no - it was mom who died!
And on Sunday, my father and I were sitting together,
and my father had found a mushroom somewhere.
I ate it and by evening my father was dead.
Oh God, how awful!
But why did your father die, if you ate the mushroom?
He didn't give me a poisonous mushroom.
He gave me the best what he had at the time.
This is terrible what our people have had to go through.
How we have been tortured!
Well, no one has tortured you, you were a good pioneer here,
and as new times came, you immediately became a true patriot.
You sit in a warm place, live in a big fancy apartment.
Sass, please don't say that.
You don't know how nervous my life has been!
Karla!
There, enough. What happened?
I'm like a squirrel on a wheel. I'm so tired...
I'm old.
You're not old! Look, you don't have any gray hair!
No gray hair. Yes.
Tiit, are you feeling okay?
No-no, everything is fine.
Doctors won't let you work hard, but you keep dancing with girls here!
It's not polite to let the ladies get bored, madam, please.
May I have this dance?
No I don't dance! I'm an old woman!
Women are never old,
they only become more mature and juicy!
That is what Mr Berendsen said.
He who laughs, laughs the laughs.
Lee, what a terrible past we have all had!
Like feathers in a pillow,
whom a giant carelessly knocks out the window.
Andres, please, let's go!
Now? No, now is not really the time.
It's already physically painful for me to be here.
If you don't come, I'll go alone.
Wait, Lee, what is it now?
Our past is horrible.
Not to mention the people who died, when trying to flee to Sweden.
Sweden? Nobody has said anything about that yet!
And how many Estonians fled to Sweden.
What do you know about that?
Why don't I know, my previous boyfriend,
he was a very good rider, almost a champion.
So, he told me that his great-grandfather had fled to Sweden
and seen with his own eyes, how many boats sank.
The sea was stormy, everyone was screaming, awful.
His great-grandfather was an architect in Sweden.
He had several great jobs at once,
but at night he still drew this stuff for Estonians...
What? - That big, damn...
The Statue of Liberty.
And then he got a stroke.
Beautiful.
Wave after wave reaches the beach,
there they disappear in the sand.
Like a promise that is easily given,
a promise so deceptive and transient.
There's good and bad in every moment,
the road begins where it ends.
The sea washes traces from the beach,
but they remain forever in the soul.
There's good and bad in every moment,
the road begins where it ends.
The sea washes traces from the beach,
but they remain forever in the soul.
Oh, let them be.
Lee, Lee, wait!
It's already scary, let's go.
We can't just leave. - Why not?
Let's just sneak away, no one will even notice.
No!
I told you, I don't want to listen it anymore!
So what happens to this house now?
What happens to it, we'll try to keep it in order with Sass.
I'll be happy to help!
Do you have time for that? - Oh, of course I do!
You know, I'd like to grow onions here!
Maret, we could split the garden in half.
Well, we can plant the onions for you, if you want,
but the onion does not grow well here, the soil is not right.
I didn't really like country life before,
but lately I've begun to miss to stick my fingers in the soil.
I'll wear gloves, and use hand lotion afterward,
then it does nothing to the skin!
The desire to stick our fingers in soil, we Estonians have it in blood,
we can't escape it.
We all have roots in the country! We are like moles.
So let's split the garden in half?
Andres had two children, it's only natural,
that everything goes in half?
You should also look around the house,
maybe we'll find something what fits our apartment.
Well, you can always find something to carry away,
but if we split everything in half,
then we should split the house repair money as well?
No-no, you know, I don't have any free money at all.
I'm a slave to the banks, debts for an apartment, debts for a car.
And a horse! Honey, did you buy it? Please, please!
Calm down, listen. Deny the joy. Irina, please deny the joy.
Deportation. War. Boat refugees. Forest brothers.
All these stories - are like the jam in the basement
and we worship it like an altar.
What have you sacrificed for this altar?
Me? Not much yet.
These stories, it's like radiation...
You know it seems to me that you have received this radiation.
Andres, you're scaring me. Do you really want to stay here?
I really don't have anywhere else to go.
Oh, look, my old man is finally asleep.
When Mr Berendsen died,
then I had to bring all his furniture to my home.
Now I live like in a warehouse,
I constantly stumble upon furniture and boxes.
Only yesterday I fell over a box on my stomach,
I broke two of Mr Berendsen's beautiful plates.
Do you need plates?
No, we have a lot of plates, thank you for offering!
All right, all right.
Well, after my death, you'll get them anyway.
Don't talk like that, Tiit!
You'll live long if you take care of yourself!
How do I take care of myself?
Man is not a plate. Man has to work!
Doctors know nothing! I don't like to be lazy!
Are you kidding Tiit? You can't!
I have the strength. Mr Berendsen always said...
Jesus! Call an ambulance!
Oh God...
Tiit.
Tiit, can you hear me? Tiit, what's wrong?
Heat stroke. Wave him some wind. Wave!
Call an ambulance! - What happened?
Why did he start chopping wood?
He was drunk!
Andres! - What?
I keep looking at you, you have two twists in your hair.
You'll die of drowning!
Iida, stop it already! Is anyone calling?
Oh God, he foresaw it!
He said we would get all his old plates.
Mr Berendsen's plates.
Anni village, Pivarootsi.
He's not dead yet. Did anyone call an ambulance?
Yes, I just called, they come as soon as possible.
Oh, they won't get there so soon, we're so far off the big roads.
I don't know if he'll last that long. - Should we take him inside?
He can't stay lying here in the yard.
Don't take him inside, he starts to stink there.
How old? Sixty plus...
Andres, come help your father.
We should lift his legs up. - This wood brings bad luck!
Two people have died on top of them!
Put them in the stove, and they'll burn the house down.
Are you going to the airport?
See if he's breathing?
What a day this is... Oh God.
Get out of here.
Oh God! - How long should we hold his legs up?
Kiss, kiss!
Karla! - Kiss!
It's time to hold our head up high again
and cast away out robes of slavery,
that all what has created together could be born again.
It's dawn, a royal blaze,
the victory of light awakens the earth.
The horizon is free,
first ray is falling to our land.
A cry - we'll break everything,
so we could breathe as free men again.
Look - the ice is broken,
let us hold hands, combine our spirits.
With collective advice...
Based on Andrus Kivirähk's play "Estonian Funeral".
Collective strength, we can achieve everything.
In front of us is the only road,
a road to freedom, there can be no other.
Power, the power of light,
the tribe of freedom, let's go together.
On our lips are cries of joy.
Look - the giant has freed his hand from the cliff.
Faith will lead us forward,
a heavenly ray is walking with us.
Like so - victory
is just one step away.
Just a short step, a step!
Land, the land of our fathers,
this land is holy,
this land that will now be free.
Song, our song of victory,
will sound again.
Soon you will see a free Estonia!
