Adapted from the famous novel of the same name by Oskar Luts (1887-1953), it provides a humorous chronicle of an Estonian country school at the end of the 19th century. During the winter term, the pupils of Paunvere parish school - Arno, Teele, Toots, Kiir, Tõnisson and Imelik - experience feelings they will remember for the rest of their lives: true friendship, first love, self-discovery and the search for one's place in life.
