When it was first made, it was highly praised by other Soviet animation directors. It had a short run within the country, but continued to be sent to international film festivals afterwards.
The film tells the story of an Estonian mythical god, Suur Tõll (Toell the Great), a giant said to have lived on the Baltic island of Saaremaa.
Clips from the film were used in folk metal band Metsatöll's music video for their song "Vaid Vaprust," from the album Äio.
