What happens

"Stereo" on Eesti film aastast 1978. Film on valminud Riho Mesilase jutustuse "Veterinaari esimene nädal" järgi Viljandi Näidissovhoosis Heimtali ja Savikoti osakondades. Film on tehtud veterinaari raske töö ja elu probleemidest ja nende austuseks. Tänaseks Eesti ühe parema filmirežissööri Peeter Simmi esimesi katsetusi, kuigi algselt oli lavastajatöö plaanitud anda Olav Neulandile. Filmi näitamine keelati pärast selle valmimist ja pääses esmakordselt ekraanile alles 1991. aastal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
