Estonian premiere
The Black Hole
A steamy, feminist romantic comedy featuring adorable sci-fi monsters.
A sexy blend of the styles of Cronenberg, Spielberg, and Lyne (and “Gremlins”), “The Black Hole’s” director Moonika Siimets has managed to unleash the ultimate guilty pleasure movie. It's an incredible and radical change of style from her previous film, “The Little Comrade”.
We follow three interconnected stories: Sirje, who voluntarily signs up for an extraterrestrial science experiment; Jüri, who falls in love with his lustful neighbour; and Uma, a fearless bodybuilder who dreams of a world without abusive men so she can heal her partner, Mariliis.
The clever screenplay weaves together cosmic orgasms, an existential lust for desire, and ancient culinary wisdom – all inspired by Estonian short stories. The Black Hole is not where you expect to find it, but may Kri-in-Poulsen from the Milky Way let us find the right way.
