The Gold Coast Estonian Society is rolling out the popcorn and the punchlines this Saturday as the award-winning Tree of Eternal Love hits the screen — impressive cast, absurd humour, Estonian snacks and a kids’ corner all included.
Gold Coast Estonian Movie Night is back, and this time it brings a road-trip absurdist comedy featuring heartbreak, friendship, questionable decision-making and an axe. In other words, peak Estonian storytelling.
Tree of Eternal Love (Kiik, kirves ja igavese armastuse puu), directed by Meel Paliale, follows Kiik — a young mechanic who takes heartbreak to dramatic new heights by attempting to chop down a mythical “eternal love” tree somewhere across the country. The result? A journey that’s equal parts thorny, introspective and delightfully chaotic.
This movie has a cast that needs no introduction (but gets one anyway). Starring Marko Matvere, Andrus Vaarik, Jan Uuspõld, Egon Nuter, Mihkel Raud and more, this award-winning 2021 film became a standout of Estonia’s new wave of absurd comedy.
As always, the Gold Coast Estonian Society promises a cosy night out: think snacks, popcorn, Kalev sweets, drinks (yes, Gin Long Drinks too), and a relaxed corner for the tiniest film critics.
Show up early for a chat and stay after for more — these movie nights are as much about people as they are about cinema. So grab your friends, bring the family and settle in for an evening of Estonian film, laughter and great company on the Gold Coast.
