Estonian filmmaker's partner surprises border guards with Seto folk song in Setomaa

Estonian filmmaker Anna Hints shared a video on social media showing her partner Tushar Prakash in an unexpected encounter with border guards in Setomaa, which was resolved when he began singing a Seto folk song. Hints explained that border guards approached Prakash for documents, but after he started singing, they no longer needed them. One officer was reportedly astonished, and Prakash invited him to a leelo camp to learn the tradition. Prakash, 41, is from India and met Hints in Luxembourg in 2016. The couple connected instantly, with their first conversation centered on composer Arvo Pärt's music.
