Djam, a free-spirited young Greek woman, is sent to Istanbul on a mission to find a motor-boat part for her uncle, a former sailor and great fan of the Greek musical style rebetiko. In the city, she meets Avril, a French woman who works as a volunteer with Syrian refugees but who has run out of money and is without friends. Generous, fearless and unpredictable, Djam leaves with Avril to Mytilene - a journey of music and encounters.
