Based on the short story "Little Requiem for Harmonica" by Enn Vetemaa
Jaan and Heiki are two students crossing the river of time in 1972. On the other side of that river is the occupied Estonia in the autumn of 1944. The film is about the painful collision between two eras and two mentalities. The young men have to make difficult decisions in order to stay alive. The film conveys the message that is against war, Fascism, Bourgeois nationalism, and abstract humanism; it supports the idea of understanding between generations and the unity of ideals and objectives.
