Original title: Kutse igavesse linna

2003 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Rein Raamat

An hour with the amazingly multifaceted Einar Laigna, who clearly and emphatically discusses life’s basic values with the viewer, at a time when ethics tend to be lost from our lives.

Laigna sincerely talks about himself and his development as a personality. His comprehensive monologue expresses self-confidence and total self-assurance. As the chief inspector of Estonian defence army, Laigna positions himself between the attitudes of a soldier, a priest, a philosopher, a wizard, a king and an artisan while defining the world and himself.
