> A young Christian man falls in love with a Jewish woman and their only refuge of sorts is a nightclub owned by the young man's brother-in-law, Vassilis Tsitsanis, who is in his creative prime as a

> Three young musicians—from Israel, Turkey, and a Greek Cypriot from Britain—embark on a mission to tell the story and explore the music of legendary Greek singer Roza Eskenazy. A Sephardic Jew born in Constantinople and raised in Thessaloniki, Eskenazi became the most recorded singer of rebetika, a genre described as Greek blues, in a career that spanned from the 1920s into the 1970s. Many of her songs, originally sung in Greek, Turkish, Armenian and Ladino, are reprised in this rousingly exuberant documentary that delves into why the singer’s music remains relevant today.
