The Wind Sculpted Land is a film about Estonian nature. The nature of this Northern country might not seem anything special at a first glance, but digging deeper one can find true gems. Flooded meadows, coastline, bogs altogether with wild animals and flocks of migrating birds are actually small worlds on their own. Even more, the very same nature has held and sculpted the character of the people living here.

In 2023, Tallinn held the title of the European Green Capital, in the wake of which Joosep Matjus and Katri Rannastu made the documentary “Greener Tallinn”. Through four seasons, the diverse natural landscapes and environments of the Estonian capital reveal themselves layer by layer. This is a tribute to Estonian nature that is right here, in the city around us. Matjus's previous film “The Wind Sculpted Land” won the hearts of many Estonians and showed us what an idyllic environment we live in.

The mysterious writer Mehis Heinsaar is on a journey. In such days, where he walks alone for days in a wild thicket towards the vast meadows, he calls the poor man's pilgrimages. The writer is surrounded by unusual and meaningful nature, he can still speak the language of animals and birds and see what is invisible to the eye. There will be seven meetings along the way for the traveler, which will open the magical inner world of Mehis Heinsaar to the viewer.

This is a portrait of a gull in a classical nature documentary about birds in the city. But it is also a philosophical contemplation of immigration issues that touches us all on many levels.
