This documentary by Ahmed EL Maanouni consists of footage of concerts, interviews and the final performances by the music group Nass El Ghiwane, which shot to fame when Scorcese discovered them as “the Rolling Stones of North Africa.” Nass El Ghiwane emerged from the poor outskirts of Casablanca, fusing elements of traditional Moroccan music such as Sufi chants, mystic Berber rhythms and dances of the gnawa, to create their own sound.

Hemo is a musician who has embarked on a journey to Iran by train in order to have his old Persian string instrument repaired. The film accompanies him and his santoor, documenting the interesting, contradictory and entertaining reality of the stretch from Istanbul to Teheran. An interweaving of Hemo's impressions of his first trip to Iran with the opinions of his fellow travellers and the railway staff, as well as Iranian television propaganda. The result is a complex collage – highlighted with Anatolian santoor music – in which freedom, religion, travel and Iranian-Turkish stereotypes are made the central theme.
