Viive Ernesaks

Film portrait of actor Endel Pärn (1914-1990). Pärn has said that theatre is a very simple thing. "You just have to learn the words by heart, then face the audience and say them out loud. And you don’t need to look at the clock. You can see from the audience’s faces when it’s time to stop."

Unforgettable melodies, unique timbre and a memorable, soul-stirring voice. A mystery for women and authority for men, his talent was revered by the highest ranks of the Soviet Union and millions of ordinary people. Georg Ots took the stage when a huge country was recovering from the horrors of war, and his voice returned them faith in a bright future. Few people know what his life was really like.
