The first film in the Seto language in the world speaks about the brightest heroine of a small people, the folk singer Hilana Taarka, a woman who lived her whole life as an outcast in a small chimney-less hut; as an unmarried mother of children in poverty, begging her bread, doing odd jobs and singing. She always sang the truth, sometimes bitter, sometimes funny, sometimes cruel. She was feared, despised and coveted. Taarka sang throughout her remarkable life, throughout her fate, from a small Seto village to international fame. And she sang well. Really well. Taarka became the Mother of the Song, a legend. But as a woman, as a member of the community, the Seto people never really accepted her. Taarka - a despised woman and a worshiped singer.

In the summer of 2001, six prominent men moved into an abandoned farmhouse for a week. Following the example of the world-famous reality series "Survivor", everyone was allowed to take only one item they loved. The aim of the men was to test whether it is possible to cope with the minimum wage in today's Estonia, and if so, in what way. "Jürgensonid" is a humorous, fully documentary television study of survivors in local Estonian conditions.
