The film is about Zuleyha Abdullayeva, a woman from Azerbaijan, who is a professional pianist and musical therapist. She claims that she can treat psychological and physical illnesses by just playing the piano. Some say she can even cure cancer... How does she do this?

The story is very personal, because it is based on real events in my life. Zuleyha played for me when I was in bad shape following a difficult surgery in a Prague hospital. Our music therapy sessions took place online, because Zuleyha was in Selçuk, Turkey. After I recovered from the disease, we finally managed to meet in Baku and I realised that I wanted to make a film about Zuleyha and reflect on my experience.
