Based on Andrus Kivirähk’s books “Poo and spring”, “Carnival and Potato Salad” and “Ghost and Facebook”, the film tells about longing, friendship, love, family and fears, which often have big eyes. The adventures of the strange characters are spiced with the characteristic warm and bold humor of Kivirähk, wittily weaving together the boundless fantasy of children and the living conditions of the modern world.

The life of an early teenager, spiced up with a touch of humor, is a somewhat harsh tale where there is no escape from the challenges of "the end of childhood" other than going fishing on Lake Tamula, against the backdrop of the bittersweet atmosphere of early 1980s Võru. Beneath the comical and adventurous surface lies a somewhat harsh story, highlighting vividly the basic human needs for understanding, caring, humanity, and love. (www.efis.ee)
