MINA OLIN SIIN
I WAS HERE
Rass’ life is marked by poverty, drugs and violence. All the 17-year-old youth really wants is to finish school and study medicine, but due to a chronic lack of ready cash he gets involved in drug dealing. When he accidentally finds himself in possession of two kilograms of cocaine belonging to the mafia, it looks like the chance of a lifetime. But for this small fish in a big, dangerous pond, life is suddenly more complicated than he ever dreamed possible...
An adaptation for film of Sass Henno’s “I was here. The first arrest”, one of the most important Estonian novels on a contemporary theme.
