The travelling projectionist of Puka, 1980
A portrait of Jaan Vihm, the rural cinema projectionist of the Puka area in Valga district. He drives home to Puka, his wife Maret sells tickets at the door, and he threads the film and starts the show while his son Aarne helps. Local farm chiefs and a teacher praise him, and at the end Vihm sits alone in the empty hall watching his own life on the screen.
