Sünopsis

Enn Säde's documentary about Jüri Müür who was his colleague and friend, an Estonian filmmaker (1929-1984). When Jüri was fifteen he joined the support service of German air force; during the last days of war he travelled to Germany, France and Africa. In 1946 he returned home and soon escaped to Karjala, Finland from KGB. He got acquainted with film during his studies in the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography in Moscow. In a way, Jüri Müür became the icebreaker of the birth of Estonian national film in 1960s. He made five full-length feature films, a couple of dozens documentaries, wrote numerous screenplays, reviews and supervised young filmmakers. Jüri was an inseparable part of cinema, but also a victim and a creator of this difficult, self-reproductive, killing and yet an awakening system.
