Plot
A brilliant but misguided man feels that he has the right to decide who is worth their place on earth.
Sinekatalog’s take
An Estonian drama about a brilliant but misguided man who believes he can judge who deserves to live. The moral premise is heavy and potentially disturbing. For viewers who enjoy dark ethical thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
