Composer and pianist Abdullah Ibrahim fled into exile from the discriminating racist
policies of the South African apartheid regime in 1962. Even before the review of the
musician's years in Zurich and New York begins, director Ciro Cappellari tries to explain
that exile is not only a geographic issue, but must also be seen as a state of mind.
Even after a person's return from exile, the alienation from their homeland can only be
reduced step by step, day by day. Apart from exploring the topic of exile, the documentation
also introduces the viewer to Ibrahim's music.
