In the captivating travelogue portrait by the first-time director Margarita Jimeno, we follow the band's – and above all the charismatic frontman Eugene Hutz's – rapid development from underground legends in New York to being an unparalleled international phenomenon. The film provides a close-up view of Gogol Bordello's international collective of musical brats during their most intimate moments, and we are present at both the many surreal and obscure concerts, when Hutz philosophises about life's complexities, and when the band improvises during an exclusive jam session with their role-model and idol Manu Chao and their soulmate, the Bulgarian saxophonist Yuri Yunakov.
