“A good film about seldom-seen topic. Living was difficult and sometimes dangerous under the Soviet rule in Estonia straight after WW II and Klaus Häröu0026#39;s film tells story about that. It has been built around true story about a teacher which teaches his pupils to fence. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eProblem on this film was that I knew too much about the story before seeing it. So it didnu0026#39;t give many surprises.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot much to complain about directing, acting or anything else. Maybe the story needed something more to be more interesting but the film depends on true story so it could have been wrong to make up something.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBest thing about this film is that there is used both languages Estonian and Russian. So the characters use the right languages. It is of course subtitled.”
