The Flirt
Semm
Synopsis
A heartfelt story about the borderlands of childhood, about a boy who is still a child, but who is touched by an inexplicable, barely discernible feeling of love. Ten-year-old boy Jaanus is in love with Eva, a girl a few years older than him, from whom he wants to buy a puppy. The puppy is like an unattainable dream, like a first love. Aare Tilga's debut film is based on Mart Kivastik's short story of the same name and was Tilga's diploma thesis at the Moscow Cinema Institute, supervised by Eldar Ryazanov.
