Mr. Vene's World 1981

Directed by Mark Soosaar

Filmmaker Mark Soosaar talks to a remarkable gentleman Leonhard Vene (1902 - 1994), a self-educated antiquity collector thirsty for knowledge. For his whole life Leonhard has lived in a manor where he has all his life collected. Beautiful old pieces of furniture fill the hall of the manor - the old man himself puts up with puritan conditions and lives in a small kitchen. He is always smiling and looks like he comes from the previous century.
