The film is a unique "musical" trip to Morocco, with the aim of delving into the history and secrets of "Gnaoua" music.

Through an exploratory trip to Essaouira and Fez, we will meet the chief teachers of "Gnaoua", descendants of slaves who had been brought from sub-Saharian Africa, who have preserved their African rhythms in "Gnaoua" music.

The film is trying to get closer to their intimate musical diaries and rituals.
