Eastern Europe, the new century. Wolflike laws and a wolflike appetite. There are still a few who look for the withered tree of knowledge of good and evil, planning to build quality office furniture out of it.
The Temptation of St. Tony is a film about a man, who has reached middle age, and finds himself in exactly the kind of darkening forest that Dante describes. An unusual problem intrudes upon his moderately prosperous and quiet life - morality. Is it possible to be a “good person”? What does that mean anyway? And what’s in it for you?
On his journey towards a clearer conscience but an increasingly complicated reality, Tony meets several typical specimens familiar from contemporary Estonian society and lives through exciting adventures, not without some diverting humour. And it starts to seem that slowly, and quite inevitably, the man loses his job, his family, and finally reality, itself.
Compassion incurs capital loss.

The prison gates are open – once again. Life offers new challenges,
new possibilities. What next? You can visit your girlfriend and happy-
go-lucky life seems to be within your reach. It seems that this time
nothing can go wrong…
But after a while you discover that fate has delivered you crappy
cards again. You are again in a situation that leaves you only one
choice - you’ll have to pull the gun and go to rob the bank.

Rainy summer evening... Young people are driving to the new trendy Phobos club which is still under construction. They call the club "a bunker", since it is a former bomb shelter which is reconstructed to become a club.
At first, the party omens nothing wrong, but the bunker doors turn out to be locked, and all of them get locked underground without light and communication facilities. At first, all of them are kidding and do not realize how dangerous the situation is. Then they get frightened. The guys will need to cope with their Fear before the bunker let them free. |
