'Cherry Tobacco is about a small town girl who is constantly bored. Her mother gets on her nerves, boys her age are stupid, and all activities seem childish. One day Laura’s energetic friend Merit asks her to join a hike to a bog led by a middle-aged nature-lover Joosep. The beginning of the trip is anything but promising: the relationship between the reserved girl and the outgoing Joosep who tries to impress the hiking party with his hillbilly style and bizarre rituals becomes tense.
