Võõra nime all

Summary "Voora nime all", which translates roughly as "under a foreign name", explores the situation during the Second World War when fellow countrymen were forced to fight against each other and their native country, as some were forced into the Soviet army and others into the opposing German army. Hendrik Paralepa is an Estonian, and a soldier in the Soviet army. He is sent undercover to the German-occupied city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, in order to prepare for its imminent occupation by the Soviet forces. To undermine the German forces, Hendrik assumes the identity of a SS soldier named Mart Kuusik - a fellow Estonian and a former classmate of Hendrik's, who was killed in combat. Hendrik's high school sweetheart, a girl named Heli Mets, the daughter of the city registrar, is also in Tallinn and she's working hard to keep the national archives safe in an attempt to preserve the history of her country, which is caught between two warring nations. The film deals with the conflicts that go on between people and their consciences during wartime. View more details
