What does it feel to live in the turbulent times as a ten-year-old, in the country that one day thrives and the next day will disappear from the world map? The pivotal times of the year 1939 both for Estonia and the whole world changed history. The filmmakers examine the events side by side with the memories of the children of the era. Family photos, newspaper cuts, dramatic archival excerpts, memories of elderly people who used to be children at that time - all of this reflect the tragic events of 1939 and the silent destruction of the Republic of Estonia.
