Synopsis

Two aspiring musicians struggle desperately to find a quiet space in their refugee camp to record a song for a competition. Ever-surrounded by a cacophony of gunfire, protests and reconstruction, they are at first, disheartened. But in a flash of inspiration, they come up with the ingenious idea of embracing the chaos that surrounds them and incorporate it into their unique music.
