A documentary about contemporary Estonian artist and feminist Mare Tralla, who started in the stormy 1990s as part of the so-called generation of winners. In addition to being a radical feminist, Mare Tralla is a hidden mother, lecturer, craftsman and designer, and on top of all that, she is also a person who has had to keep a very intimate and dark secret to herself from a very young age.

Children are left at grandma's house without their smartphones. Real life seems rather boring until they find instructions for the Kratt - a magical creature who will do whatever its master says. All they have to do now, is to buy a soul from the devil.

Imagine a mix of Repo Man, Oliver! and Pinocchio and you're on the road to grasping the tone of this bizarre Estonian take on Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy's character Buratino, a wooden boy (or boyus woodenus, as the doctors in the film refer to him). Buratino's virginal mother wishes upon a star for a son and is immediately answered by what can only be called a rape-splinter. The woman gives birth almost immediately to her little wooden Buratino.
