In the Crosswind

In the Crosswind (Estonian: Risttuules) is a 2014 Estonian drama film directed by Martti Helde. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] The film is about the forced deportation by Stalin's Soviet Union of an Estonian family to Siberia in the June deportation. It is based on a real-life diary from the period and uses a long sequence of "living tableaus" for the main narrative to invoke the frozen nature of traumatizing events in an individual memory.[3]
