Zad Moultaka: is the film portrait of a unique composer, one of the beacons of contemporary Middle Eastern music. Zad Moultaka's music is at the turning point between two worlds. As both composer and painter, Lebanese and French, Zad Moultaka belongs to the young generation of artists who live in the West, travel regularly to their country of origin, but who can only conceive of their life between the two shores of the Mediterranean. Trained in the discipline of Western music writing, though intrinsically attached to his Arab roots and the cultural specificity of essentially unwritten Arab music – orality - he continues to reconcile the musical gesture and the written sign in order to overcome both their contingencies. The film follows the composer through two different countries. Reflections and music weave together to give rhythm to the portrait of a "global village" musician.
