KERTU, written and directed by Ilmar Raag ("The Class", "Une Estonienne à Paris"), is an unusual love story that takes place within a tiny village community and depicts hidden relationships of the villagers and inside one family. The film asks about a person's right to love and to happiness even if their right to make decisions has been taken away.
After Midsummer's Day party Kertu (Ursula Ratasepp) goes missing without a trace. Her entire family panics because Kertu is considered to be a simpleton due to her timid and reserved nature. After a long search Kertu is found trembling and hiding under the bed of the boozing womanizer Villu (Mait Malmsten). The judgemental villagers chastise Villu and accuse him of taking advantage of the young woman. But what really happened on that night? The slowly unraveling truth is more shocking than anyone could ever imagine.
