Katrin Maimik & Andres Maimik : 2014
Cherry Tobacco
Summer is gradually drawing to a close and 16-year-old Laura is feeling jaded. There's a guy interested in her, but she just finds him silly; while both their families would love them to get together, Laura finds the idea exasperating. An unexpected offer to go hiking in the country for a few days to discover the wonders of the peat bogs provides her with a welcome opportunity to escape the mounting monotony as the end of the holidays draws near. Initially, Laura isn't exactly enthused by the overabundance of nature, nor by the somewhat rough-edged middle-aged team leader Joosep, who tries to impress the hiking party with his hillbilly style and bizarre rituals. Nevertheless, the unconventional pipe tobacco smoker begins to stir her interest and the feeling appears to be mutual. Much to her own surprise, Laura discovers that as the hike continues she is enchanted by the rugged charms of Joosep. The quest is coming to its irrefutable end and Laura has to decide whether a relationship with an older man is a mere step along the winding road towards becoming a woman, or whether it is her very first love. Katrin and Andres Maimik's collaborative feature debut premiered in competition in the East of the West section at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2014.
