Stealing Socialism (2015)

Stealing Socialism plot

"Lively story of Soviet people who found ways to live under totalitarian pressure"

For fifty years Estonia was part of the Soviet Union. In a period of great turmoil and uncertainty, citizens found their own creative ways to survive under totalitarian pressure. Against the background of a dilapidated village and in a partly staged setting, residents tell their personal stories about the way in which they stole from the state at the time. “Steal and let steal was the policy in our country,” say two experienced drinking brothers who saw the police rob a shipment of stolen fish at the time. A seamstress remembers how her husband, who worked in a meat factory, hid kidneys in his shoes – much to her mother's anger, because he should have brought something better. The party guests at a wedding all have their own anecdotes, including about a boy who smuggled sugar and butter in his hollowed-out prosthetic foot.
