Unlike the usual music documentaries, this is also a surprisingly intimate look at what it means to be in a band together, to stay together, to fight and overcome and what it means to be a part of history. 80 years of life, 60 and a half years of playing rock and roll, 50 and a half years of the YU Group and 45 years of a former country went into this unique film, shot for seven years.
