Otherworldly creatures disrupt the lives of the residents of an apartment block in this delightful Estonian sci-fi triptych.

Aliens, giant spiders, and the malice of men unleash on a quiet neighbourhood when a black hole opens up nearby. Moonika Siimets explores the depths of humanity in this genre-bending deadpan sci-fi comedy, and manages to shine a light on the struggles of modern society - for women and the working class in particular - with humour, tenderness and a charming melancholy.

"...a marriage of bleak humor, urban fantasy, and over-the-top sci-fi horror that has a deep love and empathy for its downtrodden characters. Presented through a series of vignettes sharing a similar extra-terrestrial starting point, The Black Hole is a rich, deeply funny, and ultimately uplifting oddity unlike anything else out there." — Joonatan Itkonen, Toisto
