A hilarious mash-up of buddy comedy and road movie, with a sci-fi twist, MANDIBLES is a wild and surreal film about friendship, big dreams, and bigger disasters.

The screening will open a short film "Virago" (R: Kerli Kirch Schneider, Eesti, 2019, 15min)

Language: Estonian (Võru dialect) Subtitles: English

A man falls off a roof. Another one drowns. Another catches fire. Wherever you look, men are dropping like flies. “May God rest their souls,” sigh the widows as they cross themselves somberly. This is the life and death of the men in Virago—a village where no man has lived long enough for centuries to see his fortieth birthday. Until today. Inspired by true events and set in rural Estonia where the harsh realities of the present-day weave with the mystical, this film tells the story of virāgōs—women who possess both heroic and hostile qualities.
