Ott Kilusk, a writer and playwright, has taken on the challenge of adapting the popular play "Such a Mulgi" into a film screenplay, a project he embraced enthusiastically after the original stage production at Pärnu Endla Theatre gained considerable popularity over several summer seasons. His adaptation reflects a modern take on Koidula's life, introducing the iconic character to the film audience, portrayed by Maria Teresa Kalmet. This connection not only aims to entertain but also to educate viewers about the historical and cultural significance of Koidula's work. Kilusk described the Endla stage version of the play as a blend of intense punk style, which drew mixed reactions from audiences, with some finding it vulgar while others appreciated its boldness. For the film, he emphasizes an accurate representation of Lydia Koidula’s life, focusing on themes pertinent to youth, love, business relations, and social disputes. The original play was Koidula's first fully penned work and it technically stands out for its poignant exploration of generational dynamics, making it a fundamental piece of Estonian literature that still holds educational value today. Overall, Kilusk's film aims to provide viewers with dual insights: a glimpse into the creation of the play and a broader understanding of Koidula's contributions to culture and literature. By illuminating these aspects, the film seeks to resonate with contemporary audiences while celebrating a pivotal figure in Estonian history.
