Libahunt: Draama wiies vaatuses

A cold, wind‑swept night in a rural Estonian village in 1912 frames the humble kitchen where a widowed mother tends a flickering fire while her children—bright‑eyed Mari, restless Tiina and the lanky boy Margus—practice cryptic verses. The cramped room, filled with soot‑blackened walls, a creaking stove and a lingering scent of pine, feels both intimate and tense, as the family’s daily chores and whispered prayers mingle with the howl of distant wolves.

Beyond the hearth, old folklore awakens. The children’s innocent questions about the “libahunt” – the dreaded werewolf that haunts local legends – stir a mixture of wonder and dread, while the matriarch’s stern warnings hint at deeper superstitions that govern their lives. As the night deepens, the house becomes a fragile sanctuary, poised on the edge of mystery, inviting listeners to follow the family’s struggle between ordinary survival and the shadows of ancient belief.
