The Ideal Landscape
This film takes place during one of the darkest periods in Estonian history: the forced collectivization that took place after World War II. We follow a member of the Young Communist League as he arrives in a collective farm. As a commissary of the spring sowing, he has orders to usher all the people to the field, even if the water is high enough to soak your boots and the machines sink in the mud. For the first time in his life he faces a real problem - does he do what's right or does he follow the party's inept commands in order to further his own career?
