A European musician and composer roams the streets of Istanbul with his mobile recording studio and "magic mike" to assemble an inspired portrait of Turkish music, ranging from modern electronic, rock and hip-hop to classical Arabesque. As he wanders through this seductive world, he collects impressions and tracks from numerous artists, including Ceza (Turkeys answer to Public Enemy), the Istanbul Style Breakers (breakdance performers) and Kurdish singer Aynur, "the Elvis of Arabesque."
