The Sleeping Beast

Kristjan spends his summer holidays in a peaceful Estonian village together with a group of friends. Their only source of entertainment is playing and clambering around an abandoned factory. But because of how dangerous the building is, they are quickly banned from playing there. The friends decide to ignore the warnings, a decision that soon leads to a disturbing event.
