Free men (2015)
The drama series, directed by Ilmar Raag, tells the story of young conscripts who suddenly find themselves in a completely new environment. Alongside the hardships of a new life, military service gives young people a chance to see the world from a fresh perspective and make bold decisions. Interestingly, it is this kind of 'closed' system that often offers people the freedom to take on new challenges.
