At the Jupiter cinema, it is possible to see Roman Baskin's short fiction film "Veranda", completed in 1988, a work that stands out for its bold surrealism and absurdist approach, which is rare in Estonian film history.

Estonian fiction film has engaged relatively little with surrealism and the absurd, but Baskin's "Veranda" is an exception; the film is so surprising and untamed in places that it can even bewilder seasoned cinephiles. A cultural portal compares the work to the meeting point of "Black Mirror" and David Lynch's oeuvre, which gives an idea of the film's atmosphere and mood.

"Veranda" is a rare opportunity to become acquainted with a lesser-known but significant part of Estonian film art's heritage.
