It weaves the personal history of the Sejdić family through the lens of music, focusing on Nebojša's journey as he grapples with both his grandfather Fejat's legacy and his own aspirations. The documentary takes its time, letting the viewer soak in the atmosphere of the Sejdić household, where the echoes of the trumpet are almost characters in their own right. There's a palpable tension between nostalgia and ambition, making you wonder if Nebojša will truly rise to the heights of his grandfather. The performances—if you can call them that in a doc—are raw and sincere, lending an authenticity that's often hard to find in more polished films.
