What happens when contemporary improvised music meets Balkan street musicians? How does this sound? Tomaž Grom, a Slovenian double bassist, composer, improviser and researcher of acoustic potential, takes his van and hits the streets of Maribor, Zagreb, Tuzla, Novi Sad, Priština, Tirana and Skopje to search for collaborators. A documentary road movie that is forever on the brink of misunderstanding, going astray along the paths that modern sat-navs fail to locate.
