In medieval Tallinn, the legendary Don Juan arrives and instantly throws the city into turmoil—women swoon at his every glance while men scramble to defend their honor with duels. But the great seducer hides a scandalous secret: this Don Juan is actually a woman in disguise, upending expectations and turning desire, jealousy, and pride into pure comedy.
The movie was shot in Tallinn’s Old Town, whose medieval streets and architecture provided a natural backdrop and added authenticity to the story’s setting.
The gender-bending twist—Don Juan secretly being a woman—was unusual for Soviet cinema of the time, making the film stand out as bold and playful.
It became a cult favorite in Estonia thanks to its witty dialogue, local humor, and the charm of its cast, even though it was little known outside the Soviet Union.
