Synopsis

Aime Helbing, once a violinist, has now almost lost his hearing. He has been preparing a journey to Morocco for 40 years, reading a guidebook, taking notes, and gathering information on Morocco. However, his wife has persistently refused to go. At 93, Aime finally leaves for Morocco with his grandson, a filmmaker, who wants to help his grandfather realize his old wish and decides to film him, lightheartedly like a child waiting for a picnic. While his wife Alice reflects on her heartbreaking yet happy young days as she listens to her husband's music, Aime rediscovers a world and life through his journey to Morocco with its exotic landscapes, and he calmly reflects on his life's lessons and lost opportunities. On the last night of the journey with his grandson, Aime chants that he has been hearing a melody since his arrival in Morocco. It is a precious journey that makes Aime feel a beautiful melody, changing the chord of his life from a gloomy minor to a cheerful major.
