Being equally adept in ethnology, botany and zoology, Middendorff made numerous scientific discoveries, establishing himself firmly among famous explorers of the North. 160 years later, Middendorff's journey is re-traced by a team of Estonian scientists, with the goal of recording changes in the region since the time of Mittendorf's expedition.
Silent Surrender
How does it feel to be a 10-year-old in the whirlwind of history? How does it feel to be an adult in a state that enjoys the spoils of success one day and disappears from the map the next? Silent Surrender is a film about that fatal year for Estonia, about freedom and compulsion, about the things done and left undone. Is it possible to learn from history?
