“Kihnu Jenka” is a story about a good Estonian woman who has been helped through life by a happy mind and songs. A love story, her meeting and life with her husband Jaan Köster, aka Kihnu Jenka. This is not a documentary story, but a fantasy game based on Virve’s own recollections of his exceptionally eventful life.
The author of the picture is Teet Malsroos
This story is a generalization, if you like, an artistic exaggeration, where the thread pullers are Virve’s two guardian angels – Virveingel and Friideingel. There are two of them, because Virve has two first names – Virve Elfriede.
