Synopsis:
An artistic documentary about 85-year-old Roma accordionist Maestro Rexhep Karaça, who has a lifetime of experience of playing the accordion. Maestro Karaça, who began playing at 14, is not just a musician; he is a living history who will tell you about different people he played for as the regimes changed in the turmoil-wrought Balkans. He remembers playing for King Zog in Tirana, where his father bought his accordion, bearing the number 004, which he still plays today. He speaks of his Hungarian teacher, who instructed him initially, and about the musical preferences of the German SS officers, of Italian soldiers, members of the Communist regime and more recently, the many internationals in post-conflict Kosovo. The film combines the artistic and documentary approaches and the narrator of the film speaks on behalf of the “accordion” itself, the very same number 004.
