Synopsis

Tallinn's streets reveal the effects of gentrification as artists move into once-neglected areas. "Client's Day" features a real estate broker discussing future developments while overlooking the current presence of artists, who often face displacement as neighborhoods become more desirable. The film also addresses the conflict between constructing new buildings and repurposing older ones. It presents 1980s panel block architecture, once deemed unattractive, as it gains new interest amid ongoing changes in the city.
