The Invisible Fight | Nähtamatu võitlusNC
Baltic Film Festival
115 mins – Estonia 2023 – Subtitles
Director: Rainer Sarnet
Starring: Ursel Tilk, Ester Kuntu, Kaarel Pogga, Indrek Sammul
The Invisible Fight is a kung-fu comedy set in an Orthodox monastery in 70’s Soviet Union. The film’s protagonist Rafael, a car mechanic turned hooligan, is in the army on guard duty when the border falls under attack from Chinese kung fu warriors. It’s like a revelation to Rafael – flying long-haired hippie Chinese, black-clad kung fu aces, Black Sabbath blasting from their portable radio. All that is forbidden in the Soviet Union.
Back home, Rafael wants to become an equally cool kung fu ace. He finds an opportunity to do so in a monastery, a place which for him is an equally rebellious and forbidden world in the Soviet Union, where long-haired, black-clad monks do their fighting. But the monk’s fight is invisible – he who is more humble wins. Rafael’s road to achieving the almighty power of humility is long and winding, his struggle is full of comedy, temptation, faith and love, but most of all, joy. The Invisible Fight is an ode to joy.
