Korini!

When his wife leaves him for his “best friend”, Leipzig truck driver Kaminsky is only too glad to take on a trip to Estonia. He wants to give his beloved old music box to a friend there and then possibly take his own life. What Kaminsky doesn’t realize is that he is being followed by a number of people who all want to get to Tallinn as well: an Estonian bank robber who has hidden his stash in Kaminsky’s truck, a philosophical undertaker who is driving the bank robber, the Estonian cellist Stella who wants Kaminsky to help her get back home – and his “best friend” who is the man behind the bank robbery. In this upbeat comedy, Peeter Simm tells of the vagaries of life and how to overcome them. What begins as a drama and turns into a screwball road movie finally has a happy ending. When Kaminsky finally realizes what’s going on, it gives him new lease on life. For him and Stella it is the beginning of a wonderful German-Estonian friendship.
