By

    TALLINN:  A three-part coproduction from Estonia and Lithuania entitled The Man Slayer. The Virgin. The Shadow directed by Sulev Keedus was presented at the 20th Black Nights Film Festival Baltic Event Works in Progress showcase.

    The Man Slayer. The Virgin. The Shadow consists of three chapters. The Man Slayer takes place at the end of 19th century. The leading character Maara is a young bride, who is about to start her life in her new family. The Virgin, set in the spring of 1949, tells the story of a young woman called Elina, who has been deported from Ingria into Estonia during the war. The Shadow moves into the present, on the border of real life and fantasy, involving a woman named Luna Lee. Maara, Elina and Luna Lee are all played by the same actress, Rea Lest.

    The film is produced by F-Seitse (Estonia) and Era Film (Lithuania).

    "The film was shot in Estonia in 2016 with a budget of 800,000 EUR and we are currently in postproduction, with the premiere planned for spring 2017. We are currently looking for sales agents, distributors and festivals," producer Kaie-Ene Rääk told FNE.
