This film tells the story of an obsession a young mans obsession with music.

The director sweeps us along from the United States to Europe to Armenia and to France looking into the roots of this ever-searching artist. Tigran draws his inspiration as much from rock metal and jazz as from an insatiable thirst for the history and the musical folklore of his country. This intimate journey lets emotions surge from the wrestling game between the man and his music.
