Original title: Suurlinna biit

Documentary Duration 27:48

Liis Hirvoja is a strong-minded young musician, who decided to move to London in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer. It takes lots of talent and work to make it in a big city. Liis has a minute tight schedule and her days are filled with never ending band rehearsals and long evening hours with kids, whose piano teacher Liis is. The film gives a really close look on Liis’s everyday life that is full of energy. It also throws in a question: why should a young Estonian leave her home country.
