New Baltic Cinema

Blackout

5 min. | Drama | N/A

Hardly anything unusual can happen when you go shopping for a cigarette in the middle of a rainy night ... But the reality is sometimes fantastic and surreal, especially when it comes to love affairs.

“It takes sensitivity to feel some change. To give life magical realism, you need a film. Through the lens of the legendary camera Krasnagorsk-3, "Blackout" shows the miracle of a new beginning, "says the film's director Margus Paju.
