Estonian premiere
Excursion
“Excursion” is a story of a teenager Iman, who catches the eye of an older boy while her class is preparing for the excursion to celebrate the end of primary school. The teenager, seeking validation, reveals that she had sex for the first time during a game of 'truth or dare' among middle schoolers. Trapped in her own lie, she invents a pregnancy and that puts the whole excursion in jeopardy, becoming the centre of a controversy that spirals out of control.
