Arseni Aedma, the self-taught master of Matsi farm
Matsi talu peremees Arseni Aedma
Matsi farm lies in Imavere village near Pöide on Saaremaa. Its master, 75-year-old Arseni Aedma, had lived there through every change of power and the confiscation of his land. With no more than village-school education he built everything he needed himself, from ploughs and harrows to a windmill. Hubert Veldermann found him a beekeeper, a village musician and something of a philosopher. Near the end of the programme Aedma plays and sings.

Eesti keeles
Matsi talu asub Saaremaal Pöide lähedal Imavere külas. Selle peremees, 75-aastane Arseni Aedma, oli seal üle elanud kõik võimuvahetused ja maade äravõtmise. Külakooli haridusega mees valmistas kõik vajaliku ise, maaharimisriistadest tuuleveskini. Hubert Veldermann leidis eest mesiniku, pillimehe ja küla filosoofi. Saate lõpus Aedma mängib ja laulab.
