Olavi Virta / Olavi Virta - legenda jo eläessään - by Peter von Bagh (1972)

Finland - one of the most musical nations on earth. For Peter von Bagh tango is the key to understanding the nation. Famous Finnish dance pavilions, which have no analogues anywhere in the world - space utopia, a place of creation dreams. "Olavi Virta" - a portrait of the great singer, perhaps the most famous tango musician. The last years of patient Olavi Virta, whose hits sang the whole nation, spent in poverty. "Olavi Virta" - a treatise on the decline and destruction, but Peter von Bagh always proved his films that real beauty still wins, and no genuine effort is not wasted.
