Taarka

The first movie in the world in Seto language is about a lucid hero of a small nation – a minstrel Hilana Taarka. Woman who lived her entire life as a scum of society in a house without a chimney; a single mother who lived in poverty, begging and doing odd jobs and singing. She always sang the truth, sometimes bitter, sometimes funny and sometimes cruel songs. She was feared and disgraced, despised and desired. Taarka sang through her unbelievable life, above her destiny, out of the small Seto village to an international recognition. And she sang well. Very well.

Taarka became a Mother of Singing, a legend.

But as a woman, member of the community, the Seto people never admitted. 

Taarka – despised woman and cherished singer.
