Emakivi. The world before human kind
Kersti Uibo's short film is like the first picture of the world taken by a newborn baby or a fetus. Do we feel the boundaries in the womb or are we part of an infinite Universe?
Is a boulder on the beach as big as the world or as tiny as a beach rock? The sound of crashing waves and the flutter of an insect's wingbeat is a story of roots before man's foot touched the shore of the Baltic.
