The Weight of All the Beauty is a poetic documentary about men who are so full of beauty, love and vitality but also so lonely. These men lived in Põdra village between sea and forest where the only one to play with was the bottle demon. The only survivor Villi tells us the stories of his four friends – Urmas, Kalju, Heints and Väints and how they ended up being tricked by the bottle demon. Villi takes us on a journey through the village, where the houses of his friends and the protective old trees live on as if nothing had happened. So if everyone else is dead, how is Villi still alive? (Estonian Film Institute)
