A forbidden love story between a monk and a veiled Muslim girl

Salma, a veiled Muslim woman, dreams of becoming a kora player. But in her tradition, women do not play this instrument. One day, as she goes to the monastery to retrieve her father's kora, she is given the opportunity to receive secret kora classes with brother Manuel. This encounter turns into an idyll. In a joyous melancholy, the musical notes become an oasis for this forbidden passion.
