County Court

Original title: Maakohus

2020 | Feature film, Short | Director: Eeva Mägi

When love has become revenge and a little child has left in the middle of it. When love has become revenge and a little child has left in the middle of it.

Karina and Martin are in a pleasant relation where everyday life flows in an effortlessly accustomed way and no small misbehaviour can shake it’s rush. Life is good. Perhaps it's this perfection and frequent patterns that make them finally pose a question - is everything to be expected in life? This is a story about following the yearning of your soul. Longing for something other than the present and having the courage to be deliberately lost. The characters in the film are looking for a place of love and understanding in the world. Their journey is playful, mellow and thoroughly human. It ...
