Valli baar

2008 • 50 min • Estonia

All towns in the world have legendary bars and drinking places. Tiny Valli Bar in Tallinn links different times and people and the film is a portrait of Estonian drinking scene.

We are not against or for drinking, we just want to see and understand it (if this is possible all together).
