Grete Jentzen

Annette Berger

Swiss documentary about two Pakistani men trying to get closer to God. One through prayer, the other through music.

One is an Islamic mystic on a life-long pilgrimage, stopping to pray at every shrine he passes. The other man in this fascinating Swiss documentary is the custodian of a centuries-old musical tradition, for whom the concept of God lies closer to self-knowledge and harmony with your surroundings.
