THE BLACK HOLE

description

Residents of an apartment block district long for a better life, but when a black hole appears mysteriously in a lilac bush, they have to face aliens, a giant spider and an Austrian in breeches.

When the aliens land on Earth, they will change the lives of everyone they meet. Sirje and Maret, dreaming of finding work abroad, end up in an extraterrestrial science experiment. Jüri, still living with his mother, falls in love with his lustful neighbour, Gertrud. Mariliis, who dreams of a world without abusive men, finds shelter at fearless bodybuilder Uma’s apartment full of giant spiders.
