A recently released convict reunites with his sister. They set out on a journey but soon realize that years apart have made communication all but impossible.

Sensitive and restless Johannes is accepted to an elite school in Tallinn and expects life to go uphill. Instead, he becomes the victim of mental abuse by his classmates. In search of recognition, he goes to his old Lasnamäe friends, who spend their time doing drugs, hanging around, and partying, rather than focusing on schoolwork. At home, Johannes must deal with his mother’s deteriorating mental health. As the tension grows, he finds himself at zero point, where he must completely reset his life to build it up from scratch.

14 de junio de 1941. Sin previo aviso, decenas de miles de personas en Estonia, Letonia y Lituania son expulsadas de sus hogares. El objetivo de esta operación -llevada a cabo por orden del líder soviético, Joseph Stalin- es purgar los países bálticos de sus habitantes nativos. Erna, estudiante de filosofia, felizmente casada y madre de una hija pequeña, es deportada a Siberia.

A different history of the Cold War: how Estonians under Soviet tyranny began to feel the breeze of freedom when a group of anonymous dreamers successfully used improbable methods to capture the Finnish television signal, a window into Western popular culture, brave but harmless warriors who helped change the fate of an entire nation.

Autumn in Estonia, where six people live, six solitudes, prisoners of the monotonous architecture of Soviet-era concrete buildings, in search of human companionship, of love, of a ray of light in an ocean of gray.

Joseph es un joven taciturno, introvertido, incompetente en los deportes, distinto, raro. Todo eso hace de él un cabeza de turco ideal para los matones de su instituto. La escalada de humillaciones y el ensañamiento van creciendo mientras la vida de Joseph se vuelve más insoportable. Entonces llega Kaspar, un amigo inesperado, un aliado. Ahora ya no está solo. Ahora son dos y quieren la revancha porque los mansos se han cansado. Porque planean fría y concienzudamente su venganza... Siguiendo la estela de Elephant (Gus Van Sant, 2003) Klass es una reflexión sobre la gestación de la violencia adolescente, una historia que supone una llamada de atención sobre el acoso escolar (bullying) a la vez que, con objetividad, rastrea la crueldad en la adolescencia, sus motivos y las respuestas violentas en situaciones extremas.

A fake historic epic on the Middle Ages and Estonia's not-so-glorious past.
