The Weight of All the Beauty

An eerie, dreamy hybrid documentary about men from the village of Põdra whose souls were seized by the Vodka Spirit.

In an ethereal, forgotten town between forest and sea, having lost several friends over time, Villi lives on – alone, unhealed, but still alive. In this part of Estonia, then and now, sometimes the only way to ward off the solitude is by drowning it out. Equal parts unsettling and unusual, but nevertheless enthralling, The Weight of All the Beauty is a poetic reflection on alcoholism, isolation and time.An eerie, dreamy hybrid documentary about men from the village of Põdra whose souls were seized by the Vodka Spirit.
