It is kind of a consolation that she won in the movie, although reading the legal troubles about getting her fee must have made the victory sour.

In the open-air cinema-like scenery domestic rock bands get time for a short movie clip each, linked by an also short musical frame-play.

One day, two unsuccessful rock musicians, Ede and Zaki, come across a competition. To commemorate the anniversary of the Institute for the Blind, they have to write a musical piece for the blind.
