The Film is a documentary, yet is more just than that. It is about real music, real performers, real stories, though the dramatic composition of the storyline may give a feeling that the viewer is taken in the world of a dream-like ballade. The original way of story telling conveys the Film a dramaturgy which makes it different from the traditional documentaries.
The fate of musicians and of songs intertwine, we are taken by the fate of the people and of music. Each performer, naturally, brings in a new story, a new fate and a new song.
There are countries, regions where the only thing people are left with is their own past. This past, however, as it turns out from this Film, worth more than the ultramodern present and pretended future. These people tell the story of their past, present the spirit of the place through music; their own stories, their ancestors. stories, their life stories, their preserved and live past, is expressed through music.
