When love is the greatest torment, will art or play save you? A dramatic documentary about author Vaino Vahing.

We are looking at a creator who has made disharmony his source of inspiration, who experiences “the greatest torment in love”. The red line in the diary of Vahing is sacrificing life for art. Is this possible at all or do we still have to try to love first?
