A coming-of-age tale told in a magical-realism style about a teenage boy, Morten, who feels out of place among his wealthier classmates. While they enjoy expensive school trips, he spends his days in his family’s dilapidated farmhouse, finding solace only in a camera gifted by his grandfather, a lens through which the world seems brighter. When two girls enter his life - Miia, a street artist, and Emilie, a mysterious girl from the marsh - Morten’s world is turned upside down as he struggles to understand both his first stirrings of love and the changing world around him.
Brothers Tarmo and Toomas Urb are musicians whose phenomenon in 1980s Estonia is hard to overestimate. Performing romantic ballads accompanied by guitar, they were able to bring a full house to any concert hall. Some songs like "Imeline laas" or "Musta pori näkku" have become folklore. The brothers were compared to the duo Simon & Garfunkel.
