Kalev

Kalev

It’s the summer of 1990 and the Soviet Union’s basketball championship is set to begin. The USSR is close to collapse and Estonia is on the brink of independence. This leaves the Estonian national basketball team facing a momentous decision. As professional athletes, the team makes the unpopular choice. 

A classic underdog tale based on a true story, Kalev celebrates the achievements of a national basketball team who, despite the political turmoil surrounding them, and their unpopularity, went on to defy the odds and find glory. 

Estonia's submission for the Best International Feature Film Academy Award.
