An Invitation to the Eternal City

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. And thus, the message that he sends to Estonians and other people who love their land is that today is more important than ever before.

Einar Laigna (1937) is a multifaceted man with an aristocratic attitude. He can be called a philosopher, a cultural historian, a theologian, a military historian, a soldier and a blacksmith. 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.
