Citizen of the Sun (2025)
Brothers Tarmo and Toomas Urb are musicians whose phenomenon in 1980s Estonia is hard to overestimate. Performing romantic ballads accompanied by guitar, they were able to bring a full house to any concert hall. Some songs like "Imeline laas" or "Musta pori näkku" have become folklore. The brothers were compared to the duo Simon & Garfunkel.

The Burden of Fire (2013)
In 1982, a fire broke out in the Soviet Antarctic research station Vostok and destroyed the station's power plant. The expedition was left without light or heating right before the four-month long polar night set in, with an outside temperature of -70 °C. The men decided not to ask for help, because they knew that it was nowhere to be found.

Maastiku mustrid (2014)
The nature documentary filmmakers move through all four seasons and four basic landscape types in Estonia: the swamp, the forest, the coast and the wooded meadow. Everything that appears in front of the camera lens, including people, will become a part of the landscape pattern. People have habitated Estonian territory for more than 10 thousand years. Withdrawal of the ice cap created a habitat that has been adjusted to human needs during thousands of years. Lots of fields, pasture lands and hayfields have been created; the forests have been cut and planted. Unnecessary profit making has been avoided. The variety of Estonian landscapes combines wilderness, semi-natural communities and cultivated land.

In the Footsteps of Middendorff (2006)
Alexander Theodor von Middendorff (1815 – 1894), Russian scientist of Baltic German and Estonian origin, organized a scientific expedition to Taymyr Peninsula, the Northern end of Eurasia in 1842-1845. Century and a half later a group of Estonian scientists took the same route. The filmmakers faced the crisp arctic tundra with thousands of birds and wild reindeers and met the native people whose forefathers once gave directions to Middendorff in order to reach the Arctic Ocean.

Bonus track (2016)
Sven Grünberg is a composer, musician, Buddhist thinker, the introducer of the Dalai Lama to Estonia, and a father – to name just a few roles in his life. Of course, he is also a son, husband, brother, teacher, and human being. He is a distinctive personality with a well-defined worldview. Despite his connection with Buddhism, he is a man of sharp words, yet one who is ready to take responsibility for his opinions or judgments. A few years ago, Grünberg underwent a serious heart operation, which led him to see life from a new perspective. Bonus Track portrays Sven Grünberg in the period following his operation, as he continues to create new music, ensures the flawless preservation of his earlier works, raises his preschool-aged daughter, and organizes the third visit of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
