Risttuules

“Risttuules” (In the Crosswind), directed by Martti Helde, is a poignant historical drama that explores the harrowing experiences of a young Estonian woman and her family during the Soviet mass deportations of 1941. The film uniquely employs a series of meticulously crafted tableaux vivants to convey the emotional and physical turmoil faced by those torn from their homes and forced into Siberian labor camps.
