Documentary Duration 52:00

Sünopsis

Meelis Piller follows the daily life of philosopher Arnold von Keyserling and his wife Wilhelmine in Vienna. Their life is full of astrology, magic of numbers and geometry, Eastern philosophy, shamanism and mysticism. Arnold's father Earl Hermann Alexander von Keyserling was born and lived in Estonia. Arnold's life is in a way a symbol of contemporary society - noblemen who used to reside in luxurious castles are now pressed to live into one-bedroom apartments. Despite everything Arnold and Wilhelmine Keyserling have managed to remain the same people as they were born. Even if a bit tired they work in a big city and give people what they are expected to give them. And people like them for what they are.
