Young Lina and Hans are preparing to marry in their village in the woods, when Hans becomes entranced by the arrival of a visiting baroness. Love spells are conjured so that each receives their intended mate, but brace yourself: here comes weirdness. In this world, Death can visit in the form of a farm animal, but you can hide by wearing trousers on your head. Oh, and there are ‘kratts’ – supernatural servants made from discarded bones, tree branches and trash…
A hit on the international film festival circuit, Rainer Sarnet‘s folklore-inspired Estonian fairytale has been described as combining such influences as Guy Maddin and The Brothers Grimm, Bela Tarr and Jan Svankmajer.
