Men at Arms

The film follows a peaceful Estonian community as they face the advancing forces of the Teutonic Order during the first Eastward enlargement of Europe. With a runtime of 109 minutes, it features a unique narrative where the characters, largely unaware of warfare, are led by a young boy with a Catholic background in their quest for freedom.

Men at Arms uses elements of humor and animation to illustrate the absurdity of their situation, blending medieval themes with a modern comedic twist. The film presents various obstacles that the Estonians must overcome, including confrontations with Germans, French, Russians, and Latvians, creating a surreal commentary on cultural resilience and identity.
