An evening full of songs, poetry and stories from Estonia by Silver Sepp and Kristiina Ehin is taking you to the landscapes of Estonian bogs and seaside meadows where the summer is short and light and the gray winter seems to last forever. Kristiina and Silver are diving into existential questions of how to live, love and care of eachother in the planet where wars have never ended. Could the knowledge of roots and family stories help us to find out who we are and where we truly belong to? The couple shares their songs and poetry often made together.
