What Is Kalev About?
The premise of Kalev without spoilers.
Set against the 1990 collapse of the Soviet Union, the film follows Estonia’s tiny Baltic nation as it pushes for independence. Public sentiment opposes the Estonian basketball team’s entry in the USSR championship, viewing it as betrayal. Defying the outcry, the team competes, turning the game into a high‑stakes symbol of identity and resistance.
