A black and gloomy comedically stylized film about a young ice cream seller, Roob, who, almost by chance and thanks to his "multibusinessman" boss, happens to land the leading role in an underground porno film. Though the youngsters in the lead roles of the porno film realize that they have crossed the line that most of their fellow citizens might denounce as indecent, their helpless actions are somewhat pardoned by their curiosity and inexperience. The same cannot be said for the film crew, who are pragmatic and down-trodden and for whom there is no difference whether they are selling potatoes at the market or making a porno - as long as the money keeps rolling in.
Erkki-Sven Tüür: 7 Etudes in Pictures
Besides Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür is the most known Estonian composer, whose work is loved and honoured by the general music public all over the world. The film consists of 7 parts, each of them tells a different story and has a special visual solution to open an important theme in composer´s life. The chapters resound the musical history, worldviews and existential questions which are important to the composer. Questions are being answered by Tüür and the people, who understand and appreciate his creative life and his colorific personality. His work is being ordered by the best interprets and orchestras, his pieces are performed in the most respectable music halls. BBC Music Magazine released an overview of 250 interprets, composers and conductors, who have made an impact to the music of the world. People who make difference, said the cover of the magazine. Next to John Adams, John Tavener and Gavin Bryarsiga, Erkki-Sven Tüür was one of the 70 composers included there. How does the process of music writing go, how does the initial music piece get into the music hall, which are his sources for inspiration? Which is his position in the context of the world music? These and lots of other
