"Ballet Master", a documentary full of dancing, is a journey through the creative world of the internationally recognized choreographer Mai Murdmaa. Murdmaa is our guide and helps us see dancing as a medium for creating art. "Ballet Master" visualizes choreography but mostly gives it a meaning. Murdmaa's creative work and private life are inseparable. One ballet master, two different forms of society. One art - sacral, mystical, erotic, aesthetic - but so many difficult aspects before the creation can reach the audience.
In this film, we look at the Setos – a European ethnic group who are wedged between two different cultures – the Orthodox East and the Catholic-Lutheran West. This is the story of a people who make do, living on the Eastern border of the European Union, between two powers and two ways of seeing the world. One way or another, they are involved in the dawning of a new day for themselves and Europe.
