Baltic Short Film Competition programme „New Baltic Cinema“

The Man Slayer. The Virgin. The Shadow.

2 hr. 0 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

The film consists of three chapters. The Man Slayer takes place more than a hundred years ago. The leading character Maara is a young bride who is about to start her life in her new family. The Virgin tells the story of a young woman called Elina, who has been deported from Ingria into Estonia during the previous war. The Shadow moves in the present. The main character, Luna Lee, has decided to flee from home. Is there anything besides emptiness somewhere?

The film is led by the singularity of the leading character – Maara, Elina and Luna Lee are all played by the same actress.
