Muharem, Music the Eyes of Life is a story about Muharem, a blind Romany musician and also a refugee from Kosovo. Through the storms of life, as he fulfills his destiny by playing on the Balkans’ trains, this gifted artist is unerringly led by his banjo, an instrument Muharem uses to communicate with the world. A film about a constant fight for survival. A film about hope.
