The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra left its significant mark on the programming of the Salzburg Festival 2007. The symphonic concerts in the Grosses Festspielhaus, the chamber music concerts in the Mozarteum and the "School for Listening" workshops in the Great University Hall under the guidance of Daniel Barenboim turned out to be another highlight of the politically ambitious project that started in 1999 as a workshop for chamber music.

This documentary provides an insight into the rehearsals of the musicians, covers political discussions and shows the legendary West-Eastern Divan Orchestra - Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra soccer match. The final tour concert in the sold-out Berliner Philharmonie forms the grand finale.
