A research into the unusual life path of Ilija Dzadzev – musician, Hawaiian and classical guitar virtuoso, poet, philosopher, geography teacher. A story of the quest for a lost novel in manuscript. A story about the adventures of a Hawaiian guitar. This man-phenomenon played over 6,000 free concerts across the world, without making a difference between playing in front of people from the top or from the bottom. He played for presidents, beggars, miners, kindergarten children, students in cafeterias, field workers, replacing concert halls with maternity wards, graveyards, nursing homes, mine shafts, passenger and military ships, watchtowers, prisons, psychiatric hospitals, as well as squares in the major cities of the world, traveling more than 4 million kilometers with his guitar.

A music documentary based on the work of Slovenian multihyphenate artist Frane Milčinski Ježek. His satyrical poems and songs from the 1950s and 60s today sound more urgent and topical than ever, and are covered by musicians ranging from Finnish avant-garde accordion player Kimmo Pohjonen, to legendary Croatian songstress Josipa Lisac, to the former Bad Seed Hugo Race. The music is produced by indie rock icon Cris Eckman (The Walkabouts), and expertly mixed with archive footage of Jezek's own performances and skits, creating a touching and thought-provoking narrative.
