Metanoia

16 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

Dislocated drama about photographer Järvet Järvet who has to take pictures of an odd esoteric event. Metanoia raises a question about our desperate longing for new “aion” – is it a new level of society’s spirituality or just a form of mania.

“Metanoia is a short film from a cassette “Contact” (2015) that includes five films from young Estonian directors. All these films explore the areas of unknown and ask for strong contact with something transcendent. I decided to explore these themes through prism of (self) irony mixed with melancholy and bitterness. For me these vibes and moods defined urban society and y-generation at this point. I tried also to mark four different types of contact in “metanoia” that define human life and it’s course: contact with love, contact with death, different agreements/contracts and contact with unknown.” – director Vallo Toomla.
