Synopsis: In Pakistan, between political tensions, economic challenges and successive social crises, musicians and instrument makers have to face very difficult situations to remain what they are. All the more so when their trade is considered taboo. In this documentary, the director not only gives us some samples of a musical style rarely seen from those who may be the last masters, but also takes us on a journey from the Karakoram mountains in the north of the country to the coasts of the south.

Critics' reviews

"[It] archives the ethnic, linguistic, and musical diversity of the Indus region so that someday in the future, someone may try to rekindle the lost arts in a new form"
