At Just Film 2024, the audience's favorite film was Meel Paliale's „Rolling Papers”, which tells the story of Estonian youth dreaming of a better life and searching for their place in a complicated world.

**"Rolling Papers"** tells the story of Sebastjan, who works at a small shop in Tallinn and leads a routine life. His world is shaken when he meets Silo, a hedonist and dreamer. Together, they smoke cannabis, discuss life, and dream of a one-way ticket to Brazil, where everything could be different. Rolling Papers is a story about young adults facing an uncertain future, but united by a shared desire to live a meaningful and free life.

The film captures the concerns and dreams of today’s youth – they are trapped in the present, yet they carry hope and the desire for a better life in their hearts. The audience appreciated the film’s authenticity and its ability to capture the everyday lives of young people, while also being thought-provoking and playful.

"Rolling Papers" is more than just a story about young people; it’s a mirror that invites us to reflect on how society shapes the youth, what motivates them, and what dreams they carry within. The film leaves us with the thought that the value of every moment and the pursuit of dreams are more important than anything else.

Congratulations to the entire film crew!
