The Smacking Sea (1981)
Original title: Karge meri
Based on the novel "The Smacking Sea" by August Gailit
When an islander comes with his decorated boat to propose to Katrina, she will need some time for figuring out what to do since she hardly knows the man. However, they will start their journey back to Matt Ruhve's home island even before the sunset. This is the island with its own laws where the strangers are not welcome and where even love tastes a bit like a sea salt.
Director: Arvo Kruusement
