A film about music, its beauty and its creation. On his journey through Yemen, Michael Pilz attends rehearsals, records sessions for a CD and captures images of total artistic abandon. His subjects are lost in an emotion akin to musical ecstasy, while the camera divulges views of buildings and hills. YEMEN TRAVELOGUE confronts landscape with passion and documents the power of the creative process to enrich the routine of everyday life.
