An elderly couple, Johann-Voldemar Esna and his wife Ida, have found a safe haven in the village of Saulepi in Pärnu County, despite the winds blowing in from the sea and the creeping fog. The garden and the entire driveway to their farm are lined with sturdy spruce hedges planted decades ago, and 93-year-old Voldemar still tends them. In the film, the hedges become a symbol of the Esnas’ long and hard-working lives, as well as an opening for the author to begin his chat with the family. And thus, life unfolds in general, with all its joys and sorrows.
