The Legend of Pitka

The story of Estonia's first admiral and his era. Johan Pitka was a man who stood with uncompromising confidence at the pivotal events of the beginning of Estonian statehood, whether it was the formation of the Defense League, the armored trains in the War of Independence or many other important events that required Pitka's own crazy courage. The life of one of the most exciting great figures in our history was as varied and crazy as the man's character. "The Long Legend" brings to life the story of the first Estonian admiral, his era, struggles and dreams through staged scenes with beloved actors, animation and documentary footage.
