- Synopsis
- Cherry Tobacco is about a small-town girl, Laura, who is constantly bored. Her mother gets
  on her nerves, boys her age are stupid and everything anyone wants to do seems childish.
  One day Laura’s energetic friend Merit invites her on a hike to a bog led by a middle-aged
  nature-lover called Joosep. The beginning of the trip is anything but promising: the relationship
  between the reserved girl and the outgoing Joosep, who tries to impress the hiking party
  with his hillbilly style and bizarre rituals, becomes tense. But much to her own surprise, Laura
  discovers that as the hike continues she is enchanted by the rugged charms of Joosep. The
  quest is coming to its irrefutable end and Laura has to decide whether a relationship with an
  older man is a mere step along the winding road towards becoming a woman or whether it is
  her very first love.
