Those Old Love-letters

This film tells the story of Raimond Valgre, focusing on his life as a talented songwriter during a tumultuous period in Estonia's history. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of political changes and the impact these had on Valgre's career and personal life after World War II. His songs were deemed unsuitable for the Soviet regime, which adds a layer of complexity to his biography.

With a cast that includes Rain Simmul, Ülle Kaljuste, and Kärt Tomingas, the film delves into Valgre's struggles with alcohol abuse and the consequences of his artistic expression in a restrictive society. It portrays not only his musical talent but also the personal challenges he faced, making it a poignant exploration of the intersection between art and politics.
