How does the Tallinn old town look to a wanderer who has strayed off the main street and is discovering the courtyards on his own? Is it still the same city?

Internationally known dissident and freedom fighter Mart Niklus was a political prisoner of the Soviet Union in 1958-1966, 1976 and 1980-1988. In the documentary, Mart Niklus talks about state accusations and his life in labor camps.

The film follows Lennart Meri's filmmaking since 1964, when he was invited to work in Tallinnfilm's editorial office and soon became a key person in the planning of Estonian-Finnish film cooperation plans.

Half the film was shot with a video camera taken from a television station without permission, the cast and staff were unpaid, and the script was written as a screenwriting class assignment.
