Danish band Efterklang lands in Skopje and starts recruiting musicians for a one-off gig in front of the country’s striking monument, the Makedonium. The project takes them out of the capital, into the countryside, up into the mountains, and all the way to the political top in their search for allies and the country’s unique folk music culture. Director Andreas Johnsen has crafted a captivating tour of North Macedonia’s musical landscape, the creative process of one of Denmark’s most exploratory bands, and a warm tale of music’s unifying power.
