I Was Here

Rass (17), elite school student, though living alone in Estonian slum has couple of dreams. About family, love, but in order to buy food he agrees to sell some drugs and is drawn to the turbulence of events that he doesn’t control. Getting arrested may be his only chance to start that other life he is dreaming about.
– PRODUCTION NOTES

The author of this book [on which the film is based on] said: ”Do not have any children if you’re not going to love them. They’ll grow up and will write shit about you.” Generally this story is about growing up, about boys who have started the game and don’t understand the game has become real and there aren’t any game levels to re-start. A moment of decision will come when they have to decide about big things, choose between life and death.
