When Estonian violinist Eduard Sõrmus starts his concert tours in Europe, he is convinced that the world revolution is about to begin. His mission as a Red Violinist is to call the proletariat around the world to join with the revolution. It is only two things - music and revolution - that Eduard has dedicated himself to. His audience is enchanted by his performance and ignited by his ideas. With this knowledge, he travels Europe between the two world wars, accompanied by his faithful friends, his audience's admiration and the hostility of the authorities.

Plot

It has to be said that it's one of the Soviet propaganda movies. But it's not the worst one. Eduard is a high-level violin-player. He is also a convinced communist. He loves his homeland Estonia but unfortunately after the WW-1 bloody burghers rule the country. As Eduard dares to fight for equality and freedom, he will be persecuted by authorities.
