Politician Aadu Kägu and his wife Viivi go to pick mushrooms in order to take a break from reputation campaign. They will be accompanied by Zäk - a hitchhiking penniless rock star. To avoid public mushroom forests, they haphazardly go to some remote deep woods that looks wild and deserted. Soon the three of them find out that they are lost. At the same time, a media scandal explodes - investigative journalists suspect that Kägu has misused public funds. Both in the woods and in town a battle of life and death begins.

Mafia is a well-known party game that requires at least seven people, a deck of cards, and a quiet room where everyone can sit and see each other. There are two sides in the game – the villagers and the mafia. The goal of the mafia is to kill enough people to gain a majority over the other side, and everyone else’s goal is to figure out who the mafia is and kill them. The game is led by a game master, who is not one of the participants. The course of the game is divided into two parts: night and day. The mafia, the police, and the doctors operate by night, and during the day everyone has to vote on who will be executed on suspicion of mafia involvement, as a result of debate and defence.
The game is simple and requires no special preparation or prior practice. The game of Mafia requires attention, logic, and people skills. Come to an enjoyable evening in a relaxed atmosphere to communicate in Estonian.
