The Ploughman's Fatigue

Title in Estonian: Künnimehe väsimus

1982 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Enn Säde, Jüri Müür

Agricultural machines for the non-black soil zone are non-functional, with low quality and there are not eough spare parts. Agricultural workers and officials share their thoughts in the documentary.
