In a few secluded forests, one might find trees worth their weight in gold. This film is the story about the quest for this magical wood. And it is a film about the journey from the living tree in the forest to the most valuable musical instruments in the world. It is a story that includes treasure hunting and well-kept secrets, wild nature and old traditions, bandits and artists, deep knowledge and high culture.
