Devil
En una comunidad de la Estonia pagana, la población tiene que luchar contra el frío, pero también convivir con hombres-lobo, con una plaga y con los espíritus. Nada es tabú, y la gente está dispuesta a vender su alma a unas extrañas criaturas de metal y madera, llamadas kratts. En este contexto encontramos a Liina, que ha decidido recuperar a su amado Hans a toda costa, aunque esto implique recurrir a la magia negra.
An up-close look into the life of the often misunderstood movie director Grigori Kromanov through the lens of old friends and colleagues.
Director
Mason Johannes Ööbik flees home to commit suicide. But instead begins a journey through Estonia, accompanied by a deep sense of hopelessness. Johannes is not one bit distinguishable from the surrounding environment and ideals. The main character's quest sends a stunningly realistic view of Estonia at the time, with medium and people.

Among Tooming's filmic works, Endless Day provides perhaps the most eloquent material for investigating the radical renewal of visual and narrative form, as well as the shifting registers of spatio-social portrayals and critiques in Estonian cinema. It was banned in 1971 and ordered to be destroyed. However, the film was retained and restored in the 1990s.
