The story of the life of an old couple in a small Latvian town should also seem familiar to the Estonian audience. The main character of the story, Eduards Jurkovskis, is an old gentleman who does not allow himself to be influenced by rainy and windy weather. Intense fishing trips help him to actively retire.

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
