A seed that is planted in the soil grows into a turnip. But what actually happens underground during this process? Naeris is based on an old Estonian fairy tale about ownership, solidarity and betrayal. The more the turnip grows and the bigger it gets, the more pressing one question becomes: Who actually owns the fruits of the earth?
