A research into the unusual life path of Ilija Dzadzev – musician, Hawaiian and classical guitar virtuoso, poet, philosopher, geography teacher. A story of the quest for a lost novel in manuscript. A story about the adventures of a Hawaiian guitar. This man-phenomenon played over 6,000 free concerts across the world, without making a difference between playing in front of people from the top or from the bottom. He played for presidents, beggars, miners, kindergarten children, students in cafeterias, field workers, replacing concert halls with maternity wards, graveyards, nursing homes, mine shafts, passenger and military ships, watchtowers, prisons, psychiatric hospitals, as well as squares in the major cities of the world, traveling more than 4 million kilometers with his guitar.

Every summer, at an altitude of 2,000 metres, grow the blueberries in the southern part of Macedonia - or as they call it down there ‘the mountain caviar’. Telling the story about Mile from the city of Gevgelija, who believes that Kozhuf Mountain is the best office one could ask for, the film captures the tiring work of the blueberry pickers whose livelihood depends on the annual harvest of these “black perls”.
