@Username62752 This is a lot more than just a war movie. It's the story of a nation fighting to become free. It's the story of schoolboys willingly giving their life for freedom. It's the story that every Estonian if hasn't seen then heard of. It's the story that Estonians are taught to respect and honor. It's our story.

I'm reading some of the older comments here because they seem to answer my question about the Latvians in the film.
They were Red Latvians, right? Similar to the Red Militia in the Finnish Civil War, except that they had Russian military training? I could be confused though...

There were so little people who believed in Estonia's independence these days, but look what happened, we fought with Landeswehr at south and beated them out of Riga, and fought with "reds" at east and beated them to Petrograd(nowadays St. Petersburg) It means that HOPE and BELIEF into freedom is what makes miracles.

Many estonians went in the Soviet Army in this war. It seems the thing that happened to the Latvian Red Hunters happened everywhere...
Of course, now all these countries respect each other and are friends and allies!
Long live Baltic States!

Mostly they were latvians who fought in WWI against Germany defending Riga and when new regime started to rule Russia they thought that if they will fight hard they will get freedom for Latvia. It was a tragedy for them to think so. Later part of them realised that they were on the wrong side and helped to form army of independent Latvija but others remained in USSR and later were slaughtered by Stalin orders.

ok, there were some poor made military episodes
and it seemed a bit unrealistic that schoolboys beat latvian riflemen- WWI veterans, Soviet elite army unit who thought they are fighting for free soviet Latvia in free soviet Russia but movie was well made.

the Latvian Red Hunters were communists, or engaged by force. i of course respect Latvia, because it's also a free Baltic state.
the schoolboys didn't beat that big latvian army. they even lost two classmates there. they were only able to delay the Latvian advance enough until the Estonian end Finish troops arrived...

ok, i remember they don't beat Red Hunters (I didn't knew this term how to call them). And of course it wasn't any kind of legitimate latvian army. Part of real latvian army was formed in territory of Estonia and fought with estonians with the same enemies. These Red Hunters were people who thought that Soviets will give them freedom and there will be no opression from rich people (like thought brother of one of these schoolboys) but they were well prepaired and good motivated.
