Interesting facts

Tulivesi "Firewater," is Hardi Volmer's history-based thriller released in 1994.

Background

Estonia’s first period of independence (1918–1940) has long been deeply revered by its citizens, who often look back on those twenty-one years as a "golden age." In many ways, Tulivesi treats this era with a tender, almost postcard-like nostalgia.

The movie premiered in the fall of 1994 and went on to win the inaugural Film of the Year award from the Estonian Association of Film Journalists. The movie features an original score by celebrated composer Olav Ehala, with cinematography captured by Arko Okk. The screenplay was co-written by Ott Sandrak and the film's director, Hardi Volmer.
