Munavere (2021)

The events of the new tv-series take us to the most unlikely of places - a small, near-forgotten town called Munavere, the existence of which sometimes needs to be reminded even to the people who were once born and raised there. The Tall One, our hero, needs no such reminders. He knows where he is coming from and he is proud of his roots. And now he is coming back home after...less than successful attempt to go and work abroad as so many Estonians before him. But he does not return to his hometown empty-handed. Far from it. The prodigal son returns with... two cameramen and a sound guy closely behind him, recording his every move. Apparently, there is a documentary being made about the everyday life of ordinary people in small Estonian towns. And through the lens of closely following our main character, we will have the opportunity to meet other permanent residents of this very, very sleepy little place - there are Vamps and Oliver, the childhood friends of The Tall One, his special lady Kati who has counted days until the arrival of his prince and of course, every town - however small - needs a mayor and Munavere has got a winner since Harri is the right man for the job, a true patriot of his hometown. But the plot thickens when one day Harri announces that his long-lost daughter Tiina will arrive in the town. The second she steps off the bus, the everyday life in Munavere gets about 26,4 percent more interesting. Meaning that the overall interest level no stays firmly at 30 percent. The status of the town is changed from "very very sleepy" to a very promising "a bit sleepy".
