Acting
Kaljujärv's hollow-eyed exhaustion feels uncomfortably lived-in.
Cinematography
Grey-on-grey aesthetic that suffocates hope visually.

Director
René Vilbre
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Sass Henno's cult novel 'Mina olin siin,' which sparked debate in Estonia about glorifying vs. exposing youth drug culture.
The film deliberately avoids crime-thriller energy; Vilbre insisted on 'boredom as horror' to reflect actual dealing's mundane dread.
