    Dir: Ain Mäeots

    The first film in the world made in Seto language

    Producer: Anneli Ahven, Exitfilm, Estonia

    Taarka is a life story of a woman with a very special destiny, about the Seto people, their life in Russia, the way they ended up in the Republic of Estonia in 1930s, and how they were Estonianized.

    A country girl who in spite of fate or maybe due to her misfortune stayed true to her nature, her talent and her calling.

    A woman who danced where she could have walked and sang where others might have spoken.

    Nobody is born to be a drug dealer.

    Rass, 17, elite school student, though living alone and poorly in an Estonian slum, has dreams about family and love. One night he gets a phone call from his friend who invites him to a party held in honour of Olari, 26, who has just got out of prison. That very same day Rass has sold his cell phone and his jacket in order to buy some food.

    Olar offers Rass an opportunity to earn some money. He has to sell drugs. Rass agrees. This is the start for a turbulence of uncontrollable events where he is drawn in. Getting arrested may be his only chance to start that other life he is dreaming about.

    The Polish Film Institute every year backs the production of a wide range of short films. Some of this year's best have been collected into the programme Polish Shorts

    Polish Shorts are available to screen on demand at the Short Film Corner at the lower level of the Palais as part of the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner Programme
