Twenty years after disappearing, a legendary lute player is coaxed out of self-imposed exile for a deathbed concert for a former band-mate. He sets off on an epic quest to recruit the best musicians in the land, leading a growing posse through smoky bars and gambling dens, where exotic North African/Middle Eastern music pervades the air and campfires light the night. This stylized, moody and surprising journey is part spaghetti western, part SEVEN SAMURAI, with musical instruments instead of weapons.
