The review centers on the Estonian film "Midagi tõelist," directed by Evar Anvelt. It tells the story of a family man who is a porn addict and a former convict who exploits him. Both characters are on a quest for something meaningful in their lives, yet they find themselves at a dead end. This is attributed to the juxtaposition of their envisioned 'reality' against the harsh truths of life, leading to conflicts between illusion and the reality they must confront.

Interestingly, the film lacks traditional heroes, which presents a unique challenge for viewers. Rather unexpectedly, audience sympathies often veer towards the irreparably flawed character, Karl, played by Kristo Viiding, rather than the protagonist Leo, portrayed by Jan Uuspõld. Karl, with his rough and forceful demeanor, dominates the film's narrative, making him a more compelling character who embodies raw determination and depth, contrasting sharply with Leo's more subdued and troubled character.

Overall, the film opens discussions about reality and illusions, urging viewers to reflect on what truly holds value in their lives. It positions itself as a critical commentary on human nature and societal expectations while showcasing the talents of its cast and crew in bringing this complex narrative to life.
