Päevad, mis ajasid segadusse
The Days that Confused
Wind is blasting through your speeding car but the heat still burns
your lips. The radio is pounding local pop hits from the nineties. Vodka gets poured down as if to quench a thirst. You let
your head fall back and stare at the sky from under your cap, thinking: What the hell should I do with this life? And suddenly,
the lyrics hit you – yes, you really need those loving arms around you. With the help of bold music and visuals, the debuting
Estonian director takes the viewer on an energetic ride through the wild nineties. But the film also records the journey of
a searching mind as it wrestles with a sense of life’s futility. (Lenka Tyrpáková, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
