The feature film, based on the book by distinguished Estonian author Anton Hansen Tammsaare, was attended by 90 550 cinema goers during the opening week. In a country of 1.3 million that is roughly 7% of the overall population, which has never happened before. The fact is even more remarkable since the running time is 165 minutes, making it a demanding film for cinema programmers. The total Box Office for the first week is slightly more than EURO 500 000.
