London-based sales outfit One Eyed Films has secured international sales rights to Estonian comedy
Goodbye Soviet Union, which scooped the audience award at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival last month.
One Eyed Films negotiated the deal with Estonian production company Exitfilm, which excludes Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and CIS.
The Estonia-Finland co-production marks the feature directorial debut of Lauri Randla, who also wrote the coming-of-age story set during the final days of the Soviet Union.
The comedy centres on a boy named Johannes, who is raised by his eccentric grandparents in a Soviet Estonia town, while his political activist mother seeks work in the West. As Lenin falls, the family come together to navigate the collapse of the Soviet empire.
