MARELLE

Kristjan Poom

EE, 2025, 19 Min

From the unfathomable depths of the soul: In this absurd, satirical short comedy, the otherwise calm and frugal bourgeois father Markus is pushed to the limits of his sanity. The new couple from next-door adopt a miniature pig and give it the same name as his daughter – Marelle. Where does it come from, this anger? And where will it lead?
