Visual pictures of life in Estonian villages in the second part of the 20th century. We can see the seasons change while people never stop their farm work. They are mostly people of old age who live in villages that keep emptying up and houses that are close to collapsing but more than that it’s a film about genuine, powerful people who have the utmost respect for their land. “Home Village” is the directing debut for both Peeter Tooming and Peep Puks.
