Vikatimehe poeg

This is sorcerer Sergei Kibus' film debut as a director and writer. As a practicer of a witchcraft it is understandable that such guy's first film is about life and death and crossing borders between two worlds. The story is simplistic, but it's somehow interesting enough that clichés will be unnoticed.

The young Reaper is headed out to collect his first soul, but he makes a mistake when taking along young woman who is seemingly committing suicide. The woman actually didn't want to die and she pleads the Reaper taking her back to the living. On the journey they fall in each other. Reaper decides to confront Death to allow the girl back into her world.

This visually effective (probably thanks to experienced cinematographer Nuudi) film combining German expressionist style with weirdness of Guy Maddin. It's only a student film and it definitely looks like student film, but still worthwhile for watching.
