Geschichte
In the Estonian village of November, the harsh winter necessitates desperate measures for survival. The villagers, steeped in pagan traditions and folk remedies, believe in magical creatures called kratts that steal on behalf of their masters to ensure abundance. The story revolves around Liina, a young farm girl hopelessly in love with Hans. To win his affection, she undergoes a transformation into a werewolf. Meanwhile, the villagers grapple with the moral consequences of their soul-selling ways and ponder whether their soulless lives are worth living.
Zusammenfassung
November is a unique blend of drama, horror, and romance set in an Estonian pagan village plagued by werewolves, spirits, and the harsh winter. Based on Andrus Kivirähk's bestselling novel 'Rehepapp', the film explores themes of love, longing for a soul, and the moral dilemma of selling one's soul for survival. Mixing magical folklore with black humor, November offers a distinctive cinematic experience that combines Estonian pagan mythology with European Christian influences.
