Torn

EST

Eestimaa kauges nurgas Võrus elab Kalju, kes ehitab ihuüksi 19-meetrist vaatetorni. Palk palgi järel ja nii juba aastaid, olgu suvi või talv. Miks ta seda rasket tööd üksi teeb? Kellele ta seda ehitab? Samm-sammult avaneb meile lugu Kaljust, kes elab kiires ja kaootilises maailmas enda tempos ja enda reeglite järgi. Tal on oma tõekspidamised ja töö ei saa kunagi otsa.

Režissöör Kullar Viimne on lummava pildikeelega filmis ära tabanud midagi sõnulseletamatut, mis ühelt poolt on ilus, natuke nukker, aga ka lootustandev. See ongi äkki see päris elu?

In a remote corner of Estonia, in Võru, lives Kalju, who is building a 19-metre-high observation tower with his own hands. He has been doing this for years, all year round. Why does he do this hard work alone? Who is he building it for? Step by step, we discover the story of Kalju, who lives in this fast-paced, chaotic world at his own pace and by his own rules. He believes in his own convictions and keeps on working.

Director Kullar Viimne has captured something indescribable in this film, with its enchanting imagery that is at the same time beautiful, a little sad, but also hopeful. Maybe this is the way life should be?
