Introduction: Mari Armei, digitization specialist, Film Archive of the National Archives of Estonia.
After Valentina is released from prison she tries to make a new start in life. She has nowhere to go and she has no-one or anything to cling to. Her only desire is to find her son, Jüri, who has been adopted, because she is certain that her life can change if she is with her child. This is a traumatic film with strong female characters about solidarity and the lack thereof, and Estonia in the late 1980s. Estonian director Leida Laius would have been 100 this year.
