Synopsis

​An intimate and sensitive portrait on the composer Arvo Pärt revealing the maestro’s philosophy of life, his creational background and everyday scenes with his family and friends. ‘Even if I lose everything...’, That is what Pärt wrote in his diary which he calls his ‘workbooks’. In the course of decades, along with his work on musical texts, he has filled those workbooks with his contemplations, with his moments of grief and joy, with his discoveries, worries and experiences – with everything that can be called the inner life of an artist.
