The first Estonian post-war feature film tells the story about local fishermen who have to make a decisive choice. When their boat drifts away with the storm to the coast of Finland, Soviet borderguards starts immediately suspect them. However, what counts more to the fishermen is the fact that they discover – men from the same village won’t always stick together.
