Roots: Wombstone

Original title: Juured: Emakivi

2018 | Documentary | Director: Kersti Uibo

The sounds of gently breaking waves or fluttering insect’s wings are telling the story of our roots long before human footprints were first left on Baltic beaches.

The documentary is best understood as the observations of an unborn or newborn child setting eyes on the world for the first time. Is a mother’s womb the confined space that it appears to be, or is it as infinite as the cosmos itself? Is the bolder on the beach as tall as a mountain, or as tiny as a pebble? The sounds of gently breaking waves or fluttering insect’s wings are telling the story of our roots long before human footprints were first left on Baltic beaches.

Original title: Ideaalide tund

2011 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi
