The comical short film "Christmas Day" tells the story of a strong bond between Pia and her grandfather. The story takes place within the familiar Christmas hustle and bustle, complete with stressful gift wrapping, ear-piercing children's squeals, and a traditionally comical family Christmas dinner. Amidst all the chaos, Pia finds herself in a moment of a different reality, through which she manages to regain her Christmas joy and gets a reminder of how much we need our family's warmth and acceptance in good and bad times.

The short film talks about Aet, who finds herself in a position where she is left with unknown luggage. Her sense of duty and justice wont leave the luggage.

Miina has grown up in a safe home environment. That can’t be said about her best friend, Liidia. Besides having a beautiful friendship and doing normal teenage things in the Soviet smalltown, there is some darkness to be faced. Everything begins to change when Liidia becomes influenced with a new arrival to town, a woman portraying what she aspires to be. A new, better and more confident version of herself, so that she could find a way out of her unsafe environment.

In "Narva Venice", a border village between Estonia and Russia, three international artists enter a local community, where life moves to the rhythm of fishing, sauna evenings, barbecues, and karaoke nights. The friction between artists and local residents uncover humour and moments of real connection, in a place often seen only through political headlines. It becomes a melting pot where local traditions intertwine with the contemporary creative work of artists, creating opportunities to find a shared language and make something together.

Ten year old Lily has to play multiple roles at once, facing the questions of the adult world. It is often the children who know how to live life without making it overly complicated and see that the key to happiness lies in simplicity – whether it's the first rays of sunshine, a hug from a loved one, or a snowball fight.
