The documentary “Brotherhood of Lions” is a story about the legendary football club Lions. Lions were created in 1978 under the leadership of Roman Ubakivi who wanted to start training Estonian boys when the general sports circles did not think the world’s most popular game was suitable for Estonians. The tremendous training volumes, successful trips to competitions in the Soviet Russia, tales of happenings and work ethics that are absurd from today’s point of view all paint a colourful, warm and inspiring story of young men, their charismatic coach and everybody else who took part in their journey. Promoted by the media, those young boys became national heroes at the end of the 1980s and, in the winds of freedom, people started to see them as the Estonian football team. Unknowingly, the Lions were thus like the ambassadors of freedom, and even more so – the foundations of football in the newly independent Estonia.

"A Bad Scene" is a film compilation, which speaks about the darker currents hiding in human relationships, situations, which are practically inescapable, in five different ways. Harassment, mental violence, manipulation, cornering – these topics are current in both politics as well as private sphere. In these nightmarish confrontations, dramatics, mysticism as well as twisted comedy can be found. The third short film “Agreement” by Andres Maimik and Rain Tolk takes the viewer to the middle of the chaos of a film set. What can a director do when a small pretty girl turns into the most capricious diva? The chains of manipulation reach far and wide.

En sus mejores sueños, el personaje principal de esta película, Leila (Riina Maidre), es una cantante resplandeciente. Sin embargo, toda su energía y talento se gasta en relaciones que carcomen su alma, sustancias que alteran la mente y exhibiciones glamorosas. Heleri desafía las reglas. Al jugar con las posibilidades del arte del cine, lleva al espectador a un universo incómodo donde el límite entre la realidad y la ilusión es increíblemente delgado. Este es un mundo que es familiar para todos los que en algún momento de su vida tuvieron que crecer y admitir que soñar no es suficiente por sí solo. Y quien tenga independientemente de que haya elegido soñar.
