SIGADE REVOLUTSIOON
/ REVOLUTION OF PIGS
Estonia 2004
Director: Jaak Kilmi, René Reinumägi,
100 MIN
What could be more exciting than camping, especially when one is young
and in love or longingly searching for the first love? Tanel hopes that
he will meet his first girlfriend during the annual competition for the
most capable team of the Communist Youth of Estonia. But during this summer
of 1986, the weeks in the countryside do not turn out to be the way Tanel,
his buddies or the camp-supervisors have planned: the spirit of rebellion
has the kids in its thrall and the perplexed communist functionaries try
to counter it with excessive authoritarianism. So it is no surprise that
chaos, anarchy and a kind of revolution occur that the good comrades could
not have imagined in their worst nightmares. Director Jaak Kilmi took
part in goEast’s competition with his film ELAV JÕUD / A
LIVING FORCE in 2004.
