KERTU.LOVE IS BLINDKERTU.LOVE IS BLIND

KERTU / KERTU.LOVE IS BLIND

Kertu is not like other people. As far as the locals on the Estonian island of Saaremaa are concerned, the shy postwoman with girlish features is slightly mad. During the summer solstice celebrations Kertu suddenly disappears. The next morning she’s discovered in the home of Villu, a permanently drunk would-be Don Juan. No question about it for her family and the rest of the village: Kertu didn’t go with him of her own free will. When the postwoman turns out to be pregnant, the fury of her dominating, aggressive father knows no bounds. KERTU, a stirring and dramatic tale of love between two outsiders, packed Estonia’s cinemas when released last year. Director Ilmar Raag’s previous film, EESTLANNA PARIISIS / A LADY IN PARIS, opened goEast in 2013.
