The film unfolds just before Christmas in a small village in southern Estonia, where an inexperienced but enthusiastic veterinary official (Taavi Teplenkov) arrives, hoping to resolve a suspicious case of African swine fever as quickly as possible. The official’s idiosyncratic interpretation of the situation leads him to decide that all livestock must be destroyed immediately, setting off an increasingly absurd series of events in the village. The film, seasoned with plenty of dark humour, features a stellar cast of Estonian actors: Taavi Teplenkov, Egon Nuter, Külliki Saldre, Hendrik Toompere juunior, Andres Mähar, Mari Jürjens, Argo Aadli, Christopher Rajaveer, Aleksandr Bražnik, Andres Puustusmaa, Inga Salurand, Mairo Libba, Carita Vaikjärv, Joonas terik, Haldja Semjonova and Marie Konsa. The film is directed and written by Ove Musting. Jaan Laugamõts is the producer, Sten-Johan Lill the cinematographer, Anneli Arusaar the production designer, Moonika Raidam the editor, Mihkel Zilmer the composer and Markus Andreas the sound designer. The film is produced by Downtown Pictures, with production support from the Estonian Film Institute, the Estonian Cultural Endowment and the Tartu Film Fund.
