1990 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Arvo Kruusement

The folksy comedy is the last one in the trilogy based on the works by Oskar Luts directed by Arvo Kruusement.

Only tailor Kiir has not found a wife yet. Fortunately, two young women of appropriate age for marriage move to Paunvere and this will encourage Kiir's marriage plans. His marriage proposal and marriage will be adventurous, full of comedy, intrigues and happiness.

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.
