Lasnamäe
Director of Photography
The director asks straightforward questions in a phone call to the lead architect of the district of Lasnamäe, Malle Meelak. The topics include the bureaucracy, planning and living quality in the brutalist district of panel houses. He gets surprisingly straightforward answers because Meelak doesn't know that the call is being recorded. Later, in a public interview conducted in front of the camera, Meelak's answers are quite different.

Mr. Vene's World

For his whole life Leonhard has lived in a manor where he has all his life collected. Beautiful old pieces of furniture fill the hall of the manor - the old man himself puts up with puritan conditions and lives in a small kitchen. He is always smiling and looks like he comes from the previous century.
