However, freedom has a high price. Will they get love or their father's land in return, or will they just be remembered by their names on the marble plaque? "Names on the Marble Plaque" is produced by Elmo Nüganen and is based on a bestseller by Albert Kivikas. It is nowadays a classic in Estonian literature, providing a truthful and exciting picture of the time when many Estonian boys went to war straight from their classes.
