Sinekatalog’s take
A handsome teenager wants to end his life, and his father tries to talk him out of it. The subject is heavy, and the film keeps its Estonian setting grounded in family tension. A sober drama that will suit viewers who can bear painful topics.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
