White nights are not for sleeping, but for watching movies! Jaan Tootsen’s film about Fred Jüss, which has become a living classic, can be screened in the mosquito-free night cinema of Rõuge public house. Aigu Om! makes a deep bow to Jüssi, the greatest philosopher of molotami, or fruitful idleness.

“The beauty of being” (Jaan Tootsen, 2019, 62 min)

Fred Jüssi was a natural philosopher who, standing at the crossroads of nature and culture, deeply understood the basic questions of being human. In today’s world, there is so much talk about success and being overwhelmed by work. This film is about fruitful doing nothing. In praise of laziness and idleness. Hymn to the slow life. Walking along the secret paths of nature, watching the wandering clouds for hours and sinking into the sweet embrace of campfire smoke, the city noise and economic growth are far behind us. As the natural philosopher Fred Jüssi ponders: sometimes you have to be lazy and sinful, being with yourself.

Film director Jaan Tootsen is here and talking.
