Stereo

The story follows a young veterinarian who arrives from the city for his first job at a sovkhoz. His cheerful demeanor contrasts sharply with the locals, who view him as an outsider. The film blends somber naturalism with moments of lyricism and naive sentimentality, painting a vivid picture of life in the early 1970s.

Stereo is based on Riho Mesilane's short story "The Veterinarian's First Week." Due to political circumstances surrounding its production, the film was banned and only released 13 years after its completion in 1991. This unique background adds to its historical significance within the context of Estonian cinema.
