[4] In 19th century Estonia, a mythical village is inhabited by personified Black Death, spirits, werewolves and the Devil himself.

It drags the cow by its chains and lifts it up in the air, depositing it at the farm of its master, the villager called Raak.

The villagers are driven by a need to survive the harsh winter, and resort to all manner of thievery and deceit to accomplish their ends.

They even fool the Plague - first disguised as a blanched young woman crossing the river, then later as a white goat — by wearing pants over their heads to make it think they have two asses, and thus leave them alone.

Hans refuses the bargain and it is implied he kills the pig with a scythe while it's distracted swearing on a bible brought by Sander.

Liina is Raak's daughter: a headstrong young woman whom her penurious father has arranged, in a drunken pub session, to be married to an older, piggish farmer named Endel.

The witch is revealed to be an old spurned love of Sander, who in spite cast a spell that killed his wife.

The pair kneel in silence through the rainy night, and when morning comes, Hans finally kisses Liina through her veil.

Liina hears Hans' wagon approaching and after removing her concealing veil a little earlier on the road, resigns herself to reveal the truth.

[7] Sheri Linden's review for the Los Angeles Times was equally positive, referring to November as an "earthbound fairy tale" that "occupies a dreamscape somewhere between the teeming canvases of Brueghel and the existential agonies of Bela Tarr’s films.

"[9] Despite being selected as the Estonian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards, November was not picked for nomination.
