Featured review
Margus Paju's second feature film is an espionage thriller set at the dawn of World War II. Unable to distinguish between friend or foe, Feliks Kangur, an Estonian intelligence officer, will struggle to find vital information that will help save his country.
Based on real events, the production work facilitates the credibility of the film, achieving a confusing environment where it is impossible to decipher the purpose of each character; In addition to this, political and military events unfold at breakneck speed, while showing us the protagonist's past and the arrival of an imminent war.
"Within this European mega-production, there are good characters, great setting but above all a valuable story"
