A flute in a storm of egos — Estonian theatre's swan song goes quietly loud.
The last film directed by Kaljo Kiisk has been dedicated to theatre and the people in theatre. You are entering the hectic world of musicians, zanies and jesters - and don't expect to hear a symphony but a single delicate sound of a flute.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kaljo Kiisk died in 2007, making this his 25th and final film — he reportedly chose theatre as subject because 'it's where I started.'
The cast reads like a who's-who of Estonian cultural royalty; Elmo Nüganen later became artistic director of Tallinn City Theatre, essentially becoming the Robert he played.
