Film screening: “Seatapp”

The action unfolds just before Christmas in a small village in South Estonia, where an inexperienced veterinary official (Taavi Teplenkov) arrives and wants to close a suspicious swine fever case as quickly as possible.

The official’s idiosyncratic decisions, under which all domestic animals must be destroyed immediately, set off increasingly absurd events in the village.

The film, spiced with plenty of black humour, features a true cream of Estonian actors: Taavi Teplenkov, Egon Nuter, Külliki Saldre, Hendrik Toompere Jr, Andres Mähar, Mari Jürjens, Argo Aadli, Christopher Rajaveer, Aleksandr Bražnik, Andres Puustusmaa, Inga Salurand, Mairo Libba, Carita Vaikjärv, Joonas Terik, Haldja Semjonova and Marie Konsa.
