Content
The film tells a great love story – the story of Marcel
and Catherine Cellier and their lifelong dedication
to the music of South-Eastern Europe. Amidst the
Cold War the couple transcends all borders to collect
sounds and harmonies that have never been heard
before in the West. A fascinating journey into the
richness of music and an almost forgotten era.
