Five passionate singers (3 Iranian and 2 French) set off on a "musical and human pilgrimage." In search of acoustics and inspiration, they decide to go and sing in the churches of North-Western Iran, some of which go all the way back to the 8th century. On their journey, they stop to sing their repertoire in mosques, Zoroastrian sanctuaries... Their only way of communication with the people in town is: MUSIC.
