Life in the Citadel

Directed by Herbert Rappaport

With Hugo Laur, Aino Talvi, Gunnar Kilgas, Lia Laats and Betty Kuuskemaa

Professor August Miilas has succeeded in hiding in his private house from the war. He thinks this is mainly caused by his complete devotion to science. As August is not interested in anything that is going on outside his citadel, his family members avoid disturbing him. However, the political situation disrupt August's quietude. Right in the middle of his domestic citadel, the professor finds out about dangerous secrets so that he must give up this apolitical attitude and open up for the new reality.
