THRILLING THRILLER, IN WHICH CHILDISH PLAY SUDDENLY TURNS BITTERLY SERIOUS
It’s summer in the small housing estate where Kristjan and his friends live. Most of the time they play in the abandoned factory at the edge of the forest. There is nothing else to do. So, it’s no wonder that the children are not at all enthusiastic, when they are forbidden to have fun. The warden who is hot on their heels is the subject of rumors. Does he have something to do with the disappearance of a child? Or even locked his own children in the basement? Either way, he has to go. What begins as a game becomes bitterly serious, and the group is in danger of breaking up. (JK)
