Arnold Rüütel can be compared to both the strong indigenous trees that have driven their roots deep into the ground and to what Oskar Loorits has formulated as the source of Estonian vitality. Rüütel will remain in Estonian history as the third president and knightly politician, according to some, even the last knight. Estonia has had six presidents so far. Arnold Rüütel is the only one of them who has met all the others. Arnold Rüütel and Ingrid Rüütel's marriage lasted 65 years. Ingrid will go down in Estonian history as a folklorist who has collected and written down dozens of songs and stories. She would not have wished for Arnold to become president. The film features authentic folk music collected and written down by Ingrid. But it also talks about politics, the Communist Party, change and sums up the president’s departure.
