Life on Slippery Ice (2012)

Original title: Elu libedal jääl

Documentary Duration 28:50

Only 60 refugees have been issued a living permit in Estonia during the last 20 years. The film tells the story of two of them. Ananthan from Sri Lanka moved to Estonia in 2006, and has settled down nicely with his family. Maroof arrived from Pakistan in 2011, his family a year later, and they are still figuring out the life in a new culture with different traditions.
