Original title: Päris Rannap

2021 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Aleksander Ots, Kaidi Klein

Estonian music is priceless, but his personality is very complex and contradictory. The authors of the film were above all attracted to the personality of the composer, driven by the desire to pull the mask off the maestro and show the real Rannap to the extent possible.
