Meri ja Orav

About This Movie

Meri ja Orav is this quirky little comedy from 2009 that revolves around two characters, Ivan Orav and Lennart Meri, who find themselves in a rather confined space: an attic. The whole premise kind of centers on them trying to maneuver an old desk down the stairs, and it creates this delightful tension. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter at times, which actually works for the film’s charm. There’s this layer of absurdity to their predicament, almost like a physical comedy that doesn’t rely too heavily on dialogue. The practical effects here—like how they interact with the desk—really add to the humor. It's got this unique atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and strangely fresh, if that makes sense. Not your typical comedy, for sure.
