In this one there are only few phrases spoken in Russian, but generally speaking - of course. The subtitles are necessary, but when you speak the language you see how pale and often just outright ridiculous they can be.

Of course when I watch a French or a German film I don't get that feeling, which might be a blessing! :)

The Estonian language is quite close to Finnish... which is to say it is rather unique. It is not a common knowledge that they are related to Hungarian.

The Estonian culture has always been very distant from the Russian, and the republic used to be a popular vacation destination for the people of the USSR.
