The film gives us a look into a year in our recent history, namely the year 2019, which polarised our people in politics and between generations.

Mephistopheles

2020 | Portrait, Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good. From time to time, Mephistopheles reveals himself to the people through Linnar Priimägi. The energy released creates chaos.

This was quite a fireworks. In the next 15 minutes, I learned the whole truth about myself. Priimägi wondered how the earth could ever carry such a stupid person.
