Overview

Three famous jazz musicians, the German Jochim Kühm, the Moroccan Majid Bekkas, the Spanish Ramon Lopez, realize a long-term dream: One month of free time together in Morocco, time for music, for encounters, for a new CD. They rent a small studio in Rabat and invite guest musicians. They travel to the desert to meet a legendary group of native drummers, to play with them and make recordings. In between excursions into the everyday life of Morocco, computer crashes, and little crises. A film about improvised music and the work on it, a film about encounters of different cultures, a film about understanding and not understanding. Where do you come from, where do you go to?
