Endless Day

Endless Day

Among Tooming's filmic works, Endless Day provides perhaps the most eloquent material for investigating the radical renewal of visual and narrative form, as well as the shifting registers of spatio-social portrayals and critiques in Estonian cinema. It was banned in 1971 and ordered to be destroyed. However, the film was retained and restored in the 1990s.

Watercolors of One Summer

Watercolors of One Summer

The story of a young art student who goes to the countryside for a summer internship in watercolor and rents a room in a house by the sea. Conversations with an old housekeeper and meetings with an initially somewhat fussy and naive girl draw one summer in the life of a young man. Whether it's a girl's going to university, meetings with people from a beach village, or an old woman's reminiscences of past times, something about these topics has an enlightening effect on the young man. At the end of summer, a young man's eye and weather view is brighter and wider. It is a lyrical and tender story of the beginning of young love and the life experience of a fading Estonian generation.
