Movie - 2026, 2h 15m • Main Cast Role
Follows photographer and artist Peeter Laurits - a kind of trickster or shaman who moves along the border between different worlds and realities. He brings messages from the realms of art, science, mythology, esotericism and ecology, building highways from the level of moss and bark beetles all the way to the cosmic spheres. The film is set in Kütiorg, a sacred forested valley that is at once a studio and a strangely displaced mystical landscape, where past, present and imagination coexist. Kütiorg becomes the film’s central metaphor: a seemingly small place whose invisible trajectories and darker winding paths open new ways of perceiving a world in perpetual collapse, drawing both the viewer and the protagonist deeper into its depths.
