With a few exceptions, the film consists of picturesque vistas, as referred in the title. What brings the snapshots to life is the beauty of nature -- springtime Southern Estonian landscape. The film introduces Vällamägi, Haanja, the 318-metre Munamäe Hill, Lake Vaskna, River Võhandu, and the ruins of the Vastseliina Bishop Castle. The end with the church of Räpina is somewhat out of context.
