The documentary accompanies the Viennese instrument maker Wolfgang Weichselbaumer. Through an analytical, partly pilosophical approach, the autodidact Weichselbaumer seeks the perfect sounding body. Having built hurdy gurdies since he was nineteen he comes to develop an entirely new sounding tool. Encounters with musicians like the Spaniard Germán Díaz allow insights in Weichselbaums working methods. Through the meeting and growing friendship with the legendary French hurdy gurdy player Valentin Clastrier the film intensifies from a documentary report on a nearly forgotten instrument to a portrait, a symbiosis between the unconventional instrument maker and the extraordinary musician.
