Baby Cinema: Daisy Petal Game II

“KARIKAKRAMÄNG II” (“DAISY PETAL GAME II”) is a collection of three films covering three different stages of life where people are forced to make decisions which will affect the rest of their lives. How to cope with these crises during your youth, early middle age and golden years?

In Elina Naan’s film “AITÄH, ET SA MINUGA JUHTUSID” (“THANK YOU FOR HAPPENING TO ME”), two young men and two girls embark on a summer adventure in Estonia. During their journey, the youngsters discover that their relationships with each other are far more controversial than expected. Their convoluted affairs put the boys in a situation where they are faced with a choice which determines who they are and what will become of them in the future.

The two develop a strange relationship.
