Homegrown Spy Thriller “O2” Brings Estonians Back to the Cinema

Estonian spy thriller “O2”, set in the eve of World War Two, premiered in Tallinn on October 6, following eight years in the making.

 

The film’s title derives from an abbreviation of the Army Headquarters’ second department, which was Estonia’s military intelligence unit at the time.

 

The movie is based on real-life events taking place in 1939, when Estonia was about to lose its independence.

The movie is an Estonian-Latvian-Lithuanian-Finnish co-production and was directed by Margus Paju, director of the successful young people’s adventure movie “Supilinna salaselts”.
