Fleeing from the Russian secret police, a young Estonian fencer is forced to return to his homeland, where he becomes a physical education teacher at a local school. The past however catches up and puts him in front of a difficult choice.

A young man, Endel Nelis (Mart Avandi), arrives in Haapsalu, Estonia, in the early 1950s. Having left Leningrad to escape the secret police, he finds work as a teacher, and founds a sports club. Most of his pupils are orphans of the Russian occupation, and so Endel mentors them in his favorite sport, fencing. The children want to participate in a national fencing tournament in Leningrad, and Endel is faced with a choice: risk everything to take the children to Leningrad or put his safety first and disappoint them. (Finland/Estonia/Germany, 2015, 99 min., NR, Estonian/Russian/Armenian with English subtitles | Dir. Klaus Härö)
