This documentary road movie features the international jazz big band Vienna Art Orchestra on its tour through Europe and Canada. A search for the truth of surviving and working in today's cultural world. The musical program of Vienna Art Orchestra's 20th Anniversary Tour under the direction of Mathias Rüegg is entitled An Echo from Europe - From Django Reinhardt to Django Bates and is intended as an homage to European jazz composers. The orchestra comprising 15 individual personalities is presented in intimate portraits during practice sessions, on tour, during concerts, on stage and backstage, during jam sessions and in their everyday lives, in euphoria and melancholy, in fleeting moments. Varied are the joys and loneliness felt by the traveling musicians on the world's stages. Fifty-five concerts in two months in a group high of touring and music. Jazz and life!
