In 1870 Estonia, young Andres settles on a new farm with his wife, determined to transform the barren land into a prosperous paradise. All he needs is a healthy harvest, cooperative neighbors and a male heir, but life turns out to be cruel.

The contrast between a highly traditional plot and visual approach with a more modern, throbbing score from Mihkel Zilmer is notably effective.

Truth and Justice is deluxe period soap opera at heart. But young writer-director Tanel Toom's handsome adaptation is also finely crafted and superbly acted, a fatalistic meditation on the human condition splashed across a broad historical canvas.
