Tormis' Sledge of Song

Tormise regi

This is not a biographical film about Veljo Tormis. This film does not browse through old photo albums, nor does it tell stories about the exciting events in the composer’s life. Tormis is sitting in his summer cottage, enjoying the silence around him. He says that he put a full stop to writing music five years ago. He does not create any music any more. Instead of facing his piano he is solving crossword puzzles.
