Description:
Parrhesia, the practice of speaking freely and boldly, was crucial to the development of Ancient Greek democracy. A Parrhesiastes is someone who feels a moral obligation to tell the truth for the benefit of society, even at personal risk. This documentary follows Einar Laigna, an Estonian Parrhesiastes – a retired army officer who now lives in a ruined medieval monastery. From this isolated setting, he delivers sharp and ironic critiques of the illogical aspects of modern life. "The truth is swirling inside me, looking for a way out," says Laigna. "By speaking truthfully and with conviction, I defend my own freedom."
