Endless Day
Among Tooming's filmic works, Endless Day provides perhaps the most eloquent material for investigating the radical renewal of visual and narrative form, as well as the shifting registers of spatio-social portrayals and critiques in Estonian cinema. It was banned in 1971 and ordered to be destroyed. However, the film was retained and restored in the 1990s.

Poetic view on the play- and fantasy worlds of little Kati.
Mason Johannes Ööbik flees home to commit suicide. But instead begins a journey through Estonia, accompanied by a deep sense of hopelessness. Johannes is not one bit distinguishable from the surrounding environment and ideals. The main character's quest sends a stunningly realistic view of Estonia at the time, with medium and people.
