World War II. Estonian people are forcibly pulled into the conflict between great powers. The brothers of a schoolboy called Tõnu are conscripted to the army: one into the Soviet forces, the other into the Nazi Germany forces. Although the parents send their youngest son away from the war, across the bay to do lumber work, Tõnu still decides to join the Estonian regiment of the Finnish army. For the boys this is the third way - thus they can fight against both the communist and fascist ideologies and regimes at the same time: they can fight for the freedom of Finland and for the honour of Estonia. The soldiers are tormented by hunger, homesickness, northern frost, and death. Will those boys be able to get back home despite everything? What has happened in their homeland? This play by Mart Kivastik takes the audience through laughter and tears to a history lesson at school, to haymaking, to a boat of refugees, to a ski lesson and to battles. There is an unanswered question: can there be heroes in war?
