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.
This documentary is a critical analysis of the severe negative consequences of the centrally planned agricultural policy. A policy which imposes a new technology without taking into account the specific needs and conditions of the farming-land in Estonia.
Documentary on a problematic issue - namely the crop husbandry and land improvement in a non-chernozemic zone in the Soviet Estonia.
