Legends of the Winding Roads (Estonian: Kurvilise tee legendid) is a 2023 documentary film directed by Tarvo Mölder about the Estonian rally drivers in the 1980s.[1]
The film was chosen to International Sport Film Festival in Italy, to St Andrews Festival in Scotland and to IDFA Festival 2023 in Netherland.[2]
Plot
[edit]The film revolves around Estonian rally drivers who were under the shadow of the Soviet occupation, and the restoration of four Soviet-era Lada rally cars driven by those drivers, whose dream was to be part of the national rally team where they were given the opportunity for them to see the world beyond the authoritarian confines of the Iron Curtain.
Though the Soviet Union covered nearly one-sixth of the Earth's land and was made up of fifteen constituent republics, most of the drivers in the Soviet Rally Team were from the smallest republic of them all, Estonia.[3]
