LETTERS TO ANGEL
“Letters to Angel” is a film about Jeremia Juunas Kirotaja, a man who was sent to fight in Afghanistan years ago, where he converted to Islam. He now returns home only to find himself facing another kind of war.
The front line in the decrepit Estonian town runs between Eastern and Western culture, men and women, common sense and madness. Somewhere amidst these battles is his daughter, Angel, who Kirotaja has decided to find after all the years of absence. His only leads are the sound of his daughter crying, heard once on the telephone, and a dog-eared notebook full of letters addressed to her. But the town has other plans for him and the women running it seem to take him for their savior from the nagging feeling of emptiness that has enveloped them.

Lives of four modern people a cross and everybody will be chocked about the events following, the end is a new beginning for all of them. Rat-trap is a thrilling story about betrayal & retribution. Director Andres Puustusmaa describes it as follows: “The catharsis for the viewer is similar to the experience of a Native American Peyote ceremony – the inner disgust is only visible to one’s self.”
