In the Arabian tradition, Hakawati is a master storyteller, a genius raconteur, who will tell stories to everybody, if they want to listen. His function in the Arab culture was of paramount importance: he attracted masses, who very thirsty for new tales and strange stories. The director sets on a journey to find the true storytellers and find the remnants of tradition — alas, they are much more intended for tourists with cameras, than for native residents.
