Comrade

"Comrade Child" is the opening film of 100 film programs in the Republic of Estonia. When a 6-year-old Leelo schoolteacher is taken away from gunmen one day, he has to find answers to many questions independently: why is blue-and-white, who is the enemy of the people, why the terrible enthusiasts crawl around their home and is the pioneer being honorable or shame? When often come into tragicomic situations, Leelo tries to be the best possible child in this double -faced Stalinist world and do everything to get her mother back home. Comrade It is a year 1950 in Soviet Estonia and the Stalinist terrorist machine works full -time - under his six -year -old Leelo, his school principal is arrested. "If you are a good child, I'll be back soon," my mother's last words when she is taken away between the gunmen. Leelo is trying to behave well with all the power, but her mother still doesn't come home. Thus, the fear of the child's soul is blamed for being guilty of removing his mother. The incomprehension is getting worse because "good" and "bad" are no longer the right meaning in this confusing time. Why is blue and white suddenly forbidden? Who is the enemy of the people and why a terrible businesswoman turns around their home? Is the pioneer being an honor or shame? In this strange two -faced world, Leelo is trying to be as good as possible for the return of her mother, but is getting into new hassles, and what a good child really means.
