Well, say a little something.

I never say a little something.

I'll say a sentence
that goes down in history.

Please step forward.

Do you think I'm not worth
making a movie about me?

Some commission must review Priimägi,

take off your clothes and show is it okay
to make a film about you or not.

That's nonsense!

What should your funeral be like?

Everyone must be dressed in white.

White suits, white dresses

and Johan Strauss's waltz
"On the Beautiful Blue Danube"

must play at the grave
and everyone has to dance.

What are you filming now?

Eggs and pans.
- No need!

They are in every home.

That shows that you are also
a bit like a human being.

No. I'm not bit like a human being.
I am not a human being.

No need to film them, these pans.
I didn't even wash the stove.

I have said this many times
to all those close to me,

I'm afraid they don't have the money
to to that,

but I'll leave them some money to do it.

Not that they could all buy
a white suit at my expense.

No, let them buy it themselves.

But an acquaintance once told me,

"Linnar, you will probably open your eyes
even in coffin

to check whether there are
beautiful people around."

Yes, I'm ready to open my eyes
in the coffin.

Have you noticed

that beautiful people have
a more interesting life than ugly ones?

Beautiful people get into adventures
that ugly people never get into,

for no one will ever seduce or tempt them.

Mephistopheles has no interest in them.

Let the ugly live their lives there.

Many really have to die down there,

where the ship's heavy oars move.

Others live above the helm,

and know the stars
and the flight of birds.

Many are lying, bones and limbs heavy,

near the roots of the mess of life.

Others have chairs where Sibyls
and queens accompany them.

There they sit, like at home,

thoughts light, fingers light.

What do you think,
is it worth making a film about Priimägi?

About Priimägi?

No, no it's not.

Tell me honestly.

Priimägi, let's say he's an art historian.

So, he fidgets there,
speaks about this and that.

But he is very boring as a person
and it's not fascinating.

He can tell you a wise story,

he can tell you about art,
explain something,

but then you have to show more
of the art he explains in your film,

and not his personality.

His personality itself
is relatively insignificant.

He is not... well, he's not a man.

Of course,
your movie is not going to work.

Are you doing everything for that?
- No-no, I'm just so complicated.

You don't... your mind understands me
no more than ten percent.

If you're thinking of making a movie
about him, then I don't know, my dear man,

will you find anyone at all
who would like this Priimägi.

Search.

Why am I wasting my remaining life

on people I have nothing to talk to.

Not a single thought to discuss.

First of all, they are not able to accept
the thoughts that I have in my head

and secondly, I don't want to hear
the thoughts that are in their heads.

Don't they read the choir of spirits?
- They don't read it right now,

because they don't have the text
and they can't read it by heart.

It all stays out and starts with the text,
I'm telling you this for the third time.

The whole scene now starts with the text -
"I welcome the great scientist."

I welcome the great scientist
who is building new paths.

What was that now,
what frog dance was that?

It was sarcasm.
- No, there is no sarcasm.

You are doing a reverence, as we agreed.

Why everything shakes from the beginning.

Can you concentrate?

Yes, I just don't remember.

I'll show you, just follow me.

What more is there to know,
if the name would reveal the plan?

Once... Where did you go?!

Once a wicked, once a pretender,
once a tempter.

Well, tell me, who are you then?

Can you do it?
- Yes.

This movement and then three steps,
with the correct text,

which Goethe has written
and August Sang translated into Estonian.

Tell him.

The methods may be different.

For some, it is enough to make a remark
in a quiet voice.

I have such an intelligent, handsome boy,
speaks in a low voice.

Very nice Faust.

But there are some
you just have to shout at.

Panso shouted, Ird shouted,

Stanislavsky shouted,
Nemirovitsh Dantshenko shouted.

So what do you want, that I don't shout?

I also shout, if necessary I shout,
it's the easiest way, the shortest way,

because the creative process is going on,
there is no time to drawl here.

Here you have to give a command
that is filled in a fraction of a second.

Yes! And they are happy,
because if they do it,

then they will understand it themselves.

No-no-no.

But look, you are so far away
from him now.

You have to get back to him, this means,

that the text you're going with,
you take smaller steps.

Take this move again.

Once a wicked, once a pretender,
once a tempter...

And then you can't move anymore,
after you say 'tempter', you stand still.

But you're standing too far,
why are you doing it like this?

I can say it from here, too.
- No.

It will be as I told, yes.

Practice until you can do it
with three steps.

What more is there to know,
if the name would reveal the plan?

Do you know what's wrong?
You speak so slowly and prolonged.

What more is there to know,
if the name would reveal the plan?

Say it faster.
There's no time to wander around here.

What more is there to know,
if the name would reveal the plan?

Once a wicked, once a pretender,
once a tempter. Tell me, who are you then?

I am part of that power

which eternally wills evil
and eternally works good.

They are my children, I can whip them,
I have always said that.

If necessary, I'll whip you.
Then you'll grow up as decent people.

So I'm used to no one arguing.

If I am a leader and a teacher,
then I rarely discuss things.

If there are any creative questions,
then it is possible,

or some intelligent matters,
but such minor daily stuff in general,

it is not worth devoting time to them.

Hi, I'm Linnar. Today you are traveling
with me in the south-west of France

in a place we might call
the most alcoholic place in France.

The name of this city is Cognac.

Only two glasses.
- No, they don't give more.

Is it on? And action.

We're currently in the Remy Martin factory
or rather in the place

where this cognac,
which we all know, is made.

If anything should be summed up,

then this Latin sentence
is the most correct -

non multas et multum.

You don't have to drink much to get
a lot of taste from this whole thing.

Isn't it nice?
- Yeah.

Very nice.

We were talking about a special drink,
an alcoholic beverage.

You can talk about mashed potatoes...
- You claimed...

...or how primitive people
defecated under the woods.

You were saying now that...
- I didn't say anything!

I was talking right now,
don't change the subject.

I'm not!

We were talking about the origins
of alcohol consumption

and I said it started with a ritual.

No, it didn't.
- It did.

This is nonsense.
- It did!

This is just nonsense.
- You haven't learned anything.

Yes, there is no need to learn it.
- Who are you relying on?

It can't rely on anyone,
you rely on a bluff, dear man.

You rely on a bluff.

And all the ethnographers
and all the ethnologists

and theorists of religion
have been bluffing?

And you alone are right?
- Why alone?

Here are uneducated people like you.
- Yes.

There's always more of you.
- It's good there's only one of you.

The strange thing is
that this education of yours

has not taken you further
than here in this car.

That you're exactly as far,
you are sitting in the same car

and you haven't gone any further,
you're exactly as far.

You could be somewhere higher by now,
but you're not.

You're right here in the same car...
- In what sense higher?

You know what Goethe said about you,

"Twilight makes even
plain writing illegible."

Did he say that about you too,
you're trying to turn black into white?

No. He said that about you,
it was signed separately - for Manfred.

Tiina has a new idea.
She has a new idea for a series.

Now the management
of Estonian Television has changed.

There's a kind of travel show
where you drive by car

in the desert or along the tundra

and the only discussion is -
where's the next gas station

and where they can get a cardan shaft,

as far as I understand
this car stuff at all,

where it can be replaced or so.

And rude people!

I wouldn't allow such rude people,
such bumpkins, such halfwits,

it would be forbidden
to allow them on screen.

Such louts!

Who should we focus on then, is it fun?

If it's fun,
it's only fun for like-minded louts.

As the Latin proverb says -
asinus asinum caudet -

the donkey enjoys the donkey.

A lout enjoys the lout,
when he sees one on TV screen.

Rude people grow here in Estonia,
we cultivate rude people.

Who have no sense of honor or shame,
from the highest echelon to the lowest.

Who steal and are not ashamed.
I understand, everyone has to steal.

Let them steal.

They have always been stealing,
so how they're not stealing nowadays?

Steal. But be ashamed, be ashamed.

I open the TV and damn Priimägi pops up,

then I change the channel
or do something else.

I don't want to see him.

You know, I was in a madhouse,
they took my clothes away.

So I was only in pajamas.

I was so homesick,
I ran away, wearing only pajamas.

And I ran and reached the big highway.

A few kilometers away, that led to Tallinn
and I started hitchhiking.

Of course, no one stopped.

I stood there and hitchhiked,

until the damn hospital car
came to pick me up.

Someone probably called and said

that there's this fool
in hospital clothes here

and they came to take me back,
I didn't get to the city.

But what is good documentary?
It is staging.

Even if you go just with a camera
and make a chronicle or something,

you edit it as well.

There, too,
you put your own accents and so.

Why haven't you filmed this bookshelf?

I will stand here, like this,
and seemingly take a book from here.

Why are you taking this angle?
Go there and take it from there.

But then film this encyclopedia too.

Can you film something
against the light now?

It will be all wrong again.
Well, film already.

Yes, yes. One moment. I need some time.

Don't be so impatient.
- Sad sack!

One sad sack on top of the other. Yeah.

Well, take this important book
that characterizes you.

I'll take it from here.

Up there is a "projects" folder,
maybe that one?

No, they have all expired a long time ago.

So, I'll tell you something
I can find right away.

What I can't understand?
- Yes.

The identification
of mythological creatures

takes place at the level
of the objects themselves.

Just as Leni Riefenstahl did
"Triumph Of The Will", yes, "The Will."

Told Hitler, that didn't come out,
let's do it again.

Hitler immediately called the SA,

everyone marched like in a ballet,
raised their legs high.

I read the memories of Leni Riefenstahl.

Goebbels tried his best to stop her,

because once Goebbels wanted to fuck her,
but she said no.

But Goebbels wanted to fuck everyone.

Who among you has children?
Do you have children?

Do you have children?
No one else has kids?

So, the others don't just hang around,
but also begin to make children.

We need Estonians.
Today we will talk about Estonia.

The topic is the core of Estonian culture.

The three most important questions -
where do we come from

who are we and what will become of us?

And we are one of the earliest peoples
to come to Europe,

according to Lennart Meri.

He took foreign diplomats to the fields
on the outskirts of the city

and showed that we have been cultivating
this field here for 5000 years,

where were you at the time, Germans?

But we became a nation
only in the middle of the 19th century,

we had to hurry,
we had to catch up with others.

We had to have our own epic poem.

What nation does not have
their own epic poem?

In short,
we had to catch up with everything,

we had to hurry
to join the family of European nations,

as we hurried now in 2004
to join the European Union.

And we handed over some of our
national functions to this European Union.

We compare ourselves,
are we bored enough already.

Are we bored enough to live,
just like in the Nordic countries.

Well, in the Nordic countries,
as we now know,

thanks to immigrants, life is becoming
more and more interesting day by day.

The issue is becoming more urgent,

will I be raped tomorrow?
or only the day after tomorrow, yeah.

Will I be beaten up or not?

Kristen Michal, he was
the foreign minister in the meantime.

And he said that our goal could be

a boring and safe Nordic country
in a good way.

Boring and safe,
I don't want to live a boring life.

My life is worth more
than any Nordic boredom.

This is amoeba life,
it is not a decent life.

But the Russians next to us, you see -

we have a light heart from a fun song,
we can never get bored...

And so what if he knows art?

Who among Estonian people
is so interested in art?

That I understand it so much now
and he explains.

Why are you making this movie, Tontu?

Oh, leave that thought, Manfred,

you can't get no damn
portrait of Priimägi,

unless you can find out that he,
and discover that...

If you can find it out,
then maybe it'll be an interesting movie.

I don't tolerate smelly people around me.

I have to surround myself
with a scent wall, defend myself.

Because people, how should I say it,
smell so animal.

I have four hundred bottles of scent,
I have a great iris smell here.

I'll put it on you.

I don't dare go home now,
my wife is starting to suspect.

Tell her you slept with Priimägi.

Then can I go?
- Yes.

"Mandariina Tac"

Film it from the top,
then the back bottles will also show.

Film it, pull it higher.

Otherwise you only see one row,
come on, raise your camera now.

Hey, you had one good theory
that an artist must be bisexual.

Tell me about this theory.

If the question is asked in this way,
that the artist must be bisexual,

then this question is wrong.

Well, how should I ask this question?

I'll ask it myself, shut up.
You already...

Don't talk anymore. I'm talking now.

Everyone is bisexual.

Only these things are not in balance
for everyone,

and has tended toward heterosexuality

and others are tended
more toward homosexuality.

But human being
is the most important thing

and we must not forget
before we add something there,

that human is a sexual being.

Because the human genetic code says
he has to reproduce.

He has to reproduce.

But human is given the fact that
he reproduces only when he pleases.

Not as Hando Runnel wrote,
that I saw the love life of flies.

Flies don't like to reproduce,
they just reproduce.

Okay and let them multiply then.

I saw the love life of flies,
so what love life is there?

They reproduce.

Man is not a fly in that sense,

with humans it is somehow
related to pleasure.

Human also has fun reproducing.

For me, the priority is
for humanity to multiply.

This is especially important in Estonia,
for the Estonian community to multiply,

that we would have more Estonian people.

This is important to me.

But this, how to have fun there,

if you go to a gay bar at night
and screw someone there, that's okay.

Go and screw.

I used to dream about women and so,
but not any more.

That's it, this is finished.

And I think it's after that
damn strong drug treatment.

What else could it be?
It fell off very suddenly.

As soon as I went to that damn hospital,

I got not only pills,
but I was also injected with sedatives.

Because I'm very restless.

This boy Vooglaid, he...

I say, that your family ideal, dear Varro,

is a 19th century Biedermeier family,
where there are father, mother, children.

Everyone is sitting in the gazebo
drinking coffee and so on.

He argues that this is not the case.
But of course it is. Of course it is.

And now the worst,
it no longer concerns him.

That this family ideal that comes from
19th century German Biedermeier,

now the whole homosexual community
wants to have to have a queermeier.

They all want to get married,
sit in the gazebo,

adopt children and so on.

No, such a thing is never needed.

I don't need this queermeier
there next to the Biedermeier.

Why are you imitating this family model?
Why?

You are adventure,
you are falling in love,

you are breaking fidelity, you are...

As interesting a life as it can be

and now you want to chain yourself
with marriage bonds,

you want us to chain you in the Town Hall

and then afterward
you won't be breaking fidelity?

We have four wheels but we can't drive,

we have a car, but we can't drive,
that's nonsense?

What are you telling me?

This is because there are sections.

You can't go everywhere
but you can drive from the other side.

I don't understand, if you have a car,
then hit the gas and go.

You can't,
why are you saying that you can't?

An hour and a half passes and you can't.

No, dammit, in an hour and a half,
you'll figure out how you can.

I started thinking
how to explain this to you

what I just said in a simple manner
and now needs a more complex explanation.

Bordeaux Opera House is a memorial

to how the French value culture,
theater and musical theater among them.

When this building was originally built,
it was level with the ground.

The pillars touched the square,
but to highlight art...

Oh, why everything turns out wrong now?

Let's leave the first version.

I'll sign that it was
level with the ground.

How can I say
that opera was leveled?

This would mean
that the opera was demolished.

It seems to me
that you still didn't answer me...

That question which was wrong?

You told me to shut up
an you still didn't answer.

Ask your question again.
- That good theory?

In order to be a good artist,
it is not enough to be just heterosexual.

There is no connection between
sexuality and being an artist.

To be just an interesting person -
can't be done, absolutely.

One can only be interesting for someone.

You always have to seduce
either a certain person

or seduce the whole community
or the entire art audience.

This is always the task of Mephistopheles.

You can't be a good artist, if...

That you don't...

So in any case you're a good queer artist,
what the hell!

There is no queer artist.

You should look for followers

among those who live longer than you.

I am not Jesus Christ

who seeks followers among the bearded men.

I don't care about them,
they may die before me,

I'll invite them all to my funeral.

I need to know, when I invest knowledge
or teaching somewhere,

then I'll invest in those
who are much younger than me,

so that this knowledge does not die,

that the memory of European culture
would still live on.

Whatever Priimägi is talking about,
it doesn't interest me.

You know, maybe he is a smart man

but his face and manners bother me.

You need to talk to young people,
to those who live longer than you.

This is the first condition.

Well, I wonder why I'm talking to you.

Mephistopheles said that, not me.
Mephistopheles said that.

Mephistopheles is tempted
to say something from time to time.

Because it tastes so good
how can I not say that.

I was tired of directing
in such a traditional key,

that's why I added
a subheading "silent film"

and I imagined it -

that those who come on stage
only make movements.

But not with music,

but with the performance
of my musical verse.

So the roles are divided so
that I read and they play.

Actors, are you ready?
- Yes!

Social Democrats

Electoral body for the European elections

Oh Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

And what are you politically afraid of?

Who is it afraid then, Svet is afraid?

What the hell, why is he afraid,
and he's Russian.

No need to react at all
because people are laughing around us.

Listen, don't, who is this Michal now?

No we don't react,
we don't react to it at all.

Who, this Svet? Punch him in the nose,
hit him so his nose flies behind his neck.

I want to talk to him myself.

I can't start amplifying that crap.

You can't react on things like that.

Let him crackle there, this Michal,
it's his duty.

He earns his patches and give him to me.

Volodya, take it all back,
what you have you said now,

whatever Michael says
you must not react to this.

Because who are you - a downtown elder.

But who's Michal, excuse me,
the failed leader of a party.

Of course you're a young boy
and on such a position

and you want to stand out.

But you know what, we'll find you
another excuse to stand out.

Don't deal with it right now.

Take it easy, be respectable
and let's see what comes out

if something comes out, then we react

But before that we do not begin
extinguish any fire.

There is no fire yet,
you are already extinguishing the fire.

Right, thank you too.

The downtown elder is panicking.

This Svet was a pretty handsome boy,
when he was young,

but now he is old and fat.

But when he was young, he was like a -
"Svet" is light in Russian.

He was such a radiating beauty.

He was a beautiful boy
but now he is ugly.

Why do people have to get old
in front of me?

Yes, there is nothing to say.

In any case, I'm not impartial and so,

but the audience praises.

The people praise it, yeah.

They say they have never seen
such a theater,

People come here
and play something that is fresh.

That's it.

Was our Faust better,
than Faust in Vanemuine?

Faust Vanemuine, you know,
I wouldn't use this name for that.

Hendrik Toompere junior.
He doesn't understand Goethe.

He has brought a text to the stage

and let the actors shout it and scream it.

The director promised
that sluts will be brought to me on stage.

Two sluts, what has this got to do
with Goethe's Faust?

They couldn't do anything
smarter than be sluts.

And the director promised to ban it,
in that sense.

Everything, how they talked,
how were they dressed,

all their manners, all their gestures,,

this is how you usually perform
a slut on stage.

It's a scenery, it's a stage scenery.

I could change the scenery
and tell them to play nun.

The nun doesn't move like a slut,
but they moved like sluts.

It was all as well placed
as a feather in a pig's tail.

if I may quote Viktor Hugo
and his "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame".

I completely agree with Jaan Tooming.

He also said
that the theater school was screwed.

Nice looking nice girls and handsome boys
are coming out of there,

you could put them all on a poster.

The actor comes on stage
and can't breathe.

They have not been taught
breathing techniques at school.

If you have a speech defect,
you are not suitable for stage.

I will not make a flat-footed girl
dance in ballet.

We can be nice to all those
who are not fit on stage,

who are not fit to dance ballet,
who are not fit to play drama,

but art is ruthless.

Yes, there is no mercy here.

Our task is to open your eyes
to everything which is nearby

but what you haven't noticed yet.

We are currently in Moravia
and indeed it is in the middle of Europe,

a stone's throw from Estonia,

but how many have come here specifically

to see how beautiful this place is,

how nice are the people here,
how cheap beer is here,

and how delicious is the food.

Ten is what you can't get.

"Old age is a paradise for the wise",
said Balzac in La Pere Goriot.

Old age could be a paradise for the wise,

if you're at home with children
and grandchildren and you're cherished,

oh, dear grandpa, dear grandfather.

But if you are stuffed in a nursing home,

then you're fucked.

And this was done to me,
I was thrown into a nursing home.

And it was horrible.

It was horrible that they didn't feed you.

Imagine that in the European Union

you get some small porridge in the morning

or sometimes the cooking ladies
didn't bother to arrive early,

then you got just a sandwich.

For lunch, around two o'clock,
you got a plateful of soup.

Well, the plate wasn't so full,
some kind of lean broth.

Two o'clock and that's it.

The cuisine of Bohemia and Moravia
is sturdy, it is said that even greasy.

They mix flavors,
which we are not really used to.

Well, for example, here's beef,
and as far as I can tell here,

this is whipped cream.

Would we do such a thing at home?
Never.

I just don't understand why these
damn hospitals in the European Union

and care homes and nursing homes
give us so miserable food.

I guess it's meant to come here to die,

you don't need to eat, yeah.

It is so nice to sit here
and see the people.

Think about how many years

I’ve been sitting there
in my damn country home all alone.

You don't see anyone for weeks, months.

there is no one to talk to
only with the shopkeeper.

I'm trying to have a conversation
with the shopkeeper,

that this bread,
how fresh it is and so on.

What is this, when was this sausage made?

The shopkeeper tells me to look
at the damn date on the label.

No, I haven't been able to communicate.

I buy wine or beer or something
in the village shop

and go around the corner,

where the damn villagers
drink their damn beer.

I'm hoping to make friends. I didn't.

I'm going with my own beer,
I even had vodka in the back pocket,

that if we start talking,
I'll open the damn vodka as well.

But as soon as I step close to the bush,

where the men were sitting,
they all took off.

I don't know why I'm so damn despicable
or maybe it's because of the crutches.

So, now I'm posing here
in this background.

Where is my riding horse and medals.

Don't you have a star,
fourth or fifth class?

I have this honorary citizen of Tallinn.

Listen, I'll show it to you.

Wait, I'll put my hand cream on,
there must be some respect.

This is mu honorary citizen's
badge of honor.

I'll show you, that thing came off here.

They always give me the crappiest things,
which always break.

Sometimes I would like to get
some good stuff.

Now I have to go to the jeweler
and let it weld together again.

It's a cost again.

Well, that's the only badge I have.

Because no president will ever give me
a forth class white star.

I don't know what to do with it'?
I can't even wear it anywhere.

Well, when are you coming
to film my Tartu home?

Do I have to?
- Yes

Oh dear.

Leave that thought, Manfred,

You won't get a damn portrait
of Priimägi.

If you want to make one
damn good documentary,

then this nursing homes subject

would be a good one.

You know, Manfred, no matter
what we do here, in this life or so.

We are all attacking
the limits of non-existence.

At night on that pomegranate-tree.

Believe me, my love,
it was the nightingale.

It was the lark, the bird that sings
at dawn, not the nightingale.

Look, my love, there are streaks of light
in the clouds parting in the east.

Night is over, and day is coming.

If I want to live, I must go.

If I stay, I’ll die.

That light is not daylight, I know it.
It’s some meteor

coming out of the sun
to light your way to Mantua.

So stay for a while.
You don’t have to go yet.

Let me be captured.
Let me be put to death.

I am content,
if that’s the way you want it.

I’ll say the light over there
isn’t morning.

I’ll say it’s the reflection of the moon.

I’ll say that sound isn’t the lark
ringing in the sky.

I want to stay more than I want to go.

Come, death, and welcome!
Juliet wants it this way.

Are you going to make my film
in color or black and white?

Let's say with a few colors.

I'd like a black and white movie.

You want a black and white movie?
- Yes.

Do I have a right to say something?
- No, you don't

Of course,
your movie is not going to work.

Are you doing everything for that?
- No-no, I'm just so complicated.

You don't... your mind understands me
no more than ten percent.

But if it goes wrong, someone else
will come and make another movie.

I haven't found that someone yet.

I don't think there is another person
who is just as stupid.

That must be the key to this whole thing -
I am suburban Mephistopheles.

I'm not of our species.
