The film is based on Part V of the novel "Truth and Justice" by A.H. Tammsaare.
Estonia, 1872. The uncompromising new owner of Robber’s Rise must battle with hard work, his spiteful neighbor and with his own family and beliefs to transform the poor land into a flourishing farm of his dreams – to bring truth and justice to a god forsaken place.
Truth is a relative concept. Depending on the point of view, everybody can be right.
Message: Assigned unique roles in life, individuals must search deep within the apparent absurdity of existence to achieve spiritual self-realisation.
