Shimon Holy, a brilliant, one of a kind guitar hero from Haifa, was once a major promise in the city's music and cultural scene of the 1970s. One night in 1980, he meets the world's greatest guitarist for a spellbinding jam session that changes his life. Then he disappears. What remains is a local legend and a rare recording that suggests it all really happened.
