The last families of Praaga, where the Emajõgi meets Lake Peipus
Praaga viimased pered Emajõe suudmes
Praaga sits at the mouth of the Emajõgi, where the river runs into Lake Peipus, and for a long time the easiest way to get there was by boat. In the years of independent Estonia twelve families lived in the village; by 1989 only two remained. Hubert Veldermann came by boat and talked with a man whose family had lived there for three generations, about his life, his family and how the village changed over the decades.

Eesti keeles
Praaga asub Emajõe suudmes, kus jõgi suubub Peipsi järve, ja kaua oli sinna kõige lihtsam pääseda paadiga. Eesti Vabariigi ajal elas külas kaksteist peret, 1989. aastaks oli alles jäänud vaid kaks. Hubert Veldermann sõitis kohale paadiga ja vestles mehega, kelle pere oli seal elanud kolm põlve, tema elust, perekonnast ja sellest, kuidas küla aastakümnetega muutus.
