A medical student in Tallinn meets a young Estonian girl. Passionate love flares up between them. However, the disaster of the ferry "Estonia" separates them, as it seemed forever. But their love turns out to be stronger than death.

Now, to go to Estonia, you need a Schengen visa.

After a couple of glasses of wine, we relaxed, and when the cheerful music started, many of us started dancing.
