In the cold winter months of Estonia, two very unlikely people find themselves together. A young traveler, dreaming of distant, sunny lands and an old Estonian woman disillusioned by life itself.
Gerda is working dutifully and focused in the hotdog stand when David comes by just before closing time and orders a hotdog with fries. Extra crispy. While the introverted Estonian woman prepares the order the extroverted street musician chats her up without pause. After a week of daily conversations. Gerda's emotional walls have started to fall down and even a joke slips from her lips every now and then. The hula-hoop wiggle figure David gives her before leaving for Hawaii functions as a reminder that life is worth living if you don't make it too hard for yourself.—Lucia Deuerling
