- Actually: A lady (Jekaterina Novosjolova) walks into a
wayside diner off the beaten path, and the barman (Toomas Kolk), bored
out of his mind for the lack of customers, concentrates all of his
attention on her, telling her a scary story - but ultimately not
knowing if the story isn't actually true and the lady isn't very much
part of it ...
- Abeyance: Two police inspectors (Tanel Saar, Mart
Müürisepp) are to investigate a secret former Nazi lab that's said
to house an alien - but how come this lab has been there for 75 years
and well investigated already, yet nobody is able to talk about it?
- The Spring of Solitude: Hans (Ott Salla), son of a poor
family of farmers, goes out hunting one night to provide for his
folks, but loses his way in the woods and stumbles across a spring
that's not even supposed to be there. He meets a mysterious woman
(Lisette Pomerants) who allows him to drink from the spring only if he
spends three nights with her. But when he returns home the next
morning, he has to learn that not only a day but a year has gone by.
And while his family's flabberghasted, he can't think about anything
else but to return to the spring for another night ...
- The Butler Did It: A rich couple (Kadri Rämmeld, Mart
Sander) want to celebrate a successful murder plot, but without their
butler (Vahur-Paul Poldma) getting wind of what they did.
Unfortunately though the man seems to be one step ahead of them all
the way through ...

Eerie Fairy Tales is a really fun collection of genre shorts
that really has a bit of everything, drama, comedy, fantasy, science
fiction, and varies in approach from thoughtful to intentionally deceptive
to all-out-funny - but all the shorts show a genuine love for genre
filmmaking, paired with an intelligent approach to their stories and a
certain hindsight not always found in similar movies. Plus the directorial
effort is always elegant without ever glossing over things, while a
competent cast keep things real, all of which makes this an anthology not
to be missed.
