Summary:Musicians of the Hungarian folk and world music group Muzsikas do research into the traditional Jewish music of Maramures (Maramaros), Transylvania, Romania in an attempt to reconstruct it. There they meet some of the few Gipsy musicians who still remember the tunes. The filmmakers follow the process of playing together in a studio in Budapest during the recording of their new album, thus of bringing back to life the nearly forgotten traditional Jewish melodies and songs.
