Just before Estonia was overrun by Soviet forces during World War II, its government sent its gold bullion reserves to Paris for safekeeping. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the once-again independent nation is getting its gold back. But a group of money-crazed -- albeit not particularly intelligent -- Russian gangsters have their sights on the loot, and they've shanghaied apolitical electrician Toivo (Ivo Uukkivi) and his pregnant wife (Milena Gulbe) into their plot.

Mary C 03/08/2023 A timeless classic. Engaging from start to finish. Superb on all accounts. It's a must-see. See more markus m 04/22/2015 The film has an interesting plot and a pretty clever twist of sorts at the end, but never manages to get you invested in the characters. 6/10 See more Read all reviews
