Things no longer look the same for 45-year-old Emmanuel ( M )
Taggart. Thinking he has a bad case of the flu, M leaves the office
to embark on a road of self-discovery. Although the doctors find
nothing medically wrong, M becomes convinced that he is suffering
from an undiagnosed terminal disease, a brain tumour perhaps.
During his brief period of illness, Emmanuel is increasingly
peevish, irritable, mean, selfish, and nearly impossible for his
long-suffering wife, Emily, to withstand. Moreover, M runs into
Juhan Lipp, an old man for whom he immediately feels a unique and
filial attachment. Juhan seems to have acquired the wisdom that M
is lacking. Lovesongs of Emmanuel Taggart is a comedy, focusing
upon the antics and perceptions of an ordinary person as he finally
comes to terms with his own humanity.
