Time Is Here

Sometimes a second lasts forever, sometimes you don’t notice days passing. Joonas, Karit, Doris and Fred are all seven years old and starting their first school year. They live in different places all over Estonia, their lifestyles are not the same; they are very different individuals. But time flows around them in the same way. In their first school year, they need to adapt to the new life – waking up too early, doing endless schoolwork, finding their status in the class. Instead, they only want to be with friends, eat chocolate, play in the yard, and run like the wind. This documentary follows four children through their first year in school. There’s no past, no future – just the moment they live in. Time is here.
