Domesticated Russians
The film follows a handful of Russian-rooted individuals living in Estonia who, unlike many of their compatriots, have found their way into the hearts of Estonians. It explores whether, how, and to what extent they have had to pay a price for this acceptance-compromising their identity, sidestepping group values, or adapting to fit in. The story delves into how much of this process is driven by external pressures and how much by internal ones; how they perceive themselves, how that perception evolves, and what influences it; and what kind of relationships they maintain with their parents and friends, many of whom have also grappled with the "tragic" experience of being a representative of a great nation while belonging to a minority group.
