.Yl 1920 - 80

This movie about the Estonian capital Tallinn - also known by the name Reval in Germany, Sweden and Denmark - begins with an impressive harbour tour. Some of the best known sights follow: the towers of the town walls (Kiek in de Kök and "Long Hermann"), the cathedral and the promenade. Then an important economic sector is portrayed: fishing and the processing of fish. In the end, before the film ends abruptly, there is a scene with a training run of the plant fire brigade.
