An intimate portrait of Jaan Kaplinski: the man behind the words.
But who is Jaan Kaplinski? A poet? A Nobel Price Nominee? A former member of the first government of independent Estonia? An essayist? A translator? An astronomer? A French philologist? A father? A son? A husband or a lover? An ecologist? Or a more complex mix of all these?
To understand Jaan Kaplinski most people would say one should read his poems and essays, but we want to know what stands behind the poems and essays, who is the man behind the words.
Jaan Kaplinski is at the new turning point of his life and career, at the same time fragile and determined to redefine himself once more, as we all know he has done in the past. He is willing to share this very peculiar moment of his life with us and to look for signs of Jaan Kaplinski through our film.
