Overview

A portrait of a meddahatt orchestra of Algeria--women musicians who come together to play strictly for other women, during celebrations of engagements, weddings, and circumcisions. Surprisingly, since men and women are usually not allowed to mix socially, this orchestra also includes two men, an openly gay couple. Includes interviews and performances of the orchestra.
