“We’re going to eat with Andrus and Heik, preferably at an Asian restaurant,” cinematographer and director Janno Põldma (74) described in the cultural program “OP” how the scenarios for the Lotte the Dog Girl films were born. “We sit at the table and until the food is brought to us, it’s the most productive time.” Even before the food is brought to the table, the air around Kivirähki, Ernitsa and Põldma is thick with Lotte ideas.
