A documentary on old-time music in Missouri. It deals with the peculiarities of this musical genre in the region known as Little Dixie and how people carry on the tradition.
Spanish photojournalist Jeronimo Nisa tries to open a window into these people’s stories, their music’s connection to traditions and to the land, and how land and traditions influence their music. This is Nisa's, a still photographer, very first adventure in the realm of video documentary and he has chosen to do it about a region that, as musicians Barton and Para wrote, “is a great meeting place, between a prehistoric ocean floor and the last ice age, between the eastern forests and the western plains, between America’s two greatest rivers, and where the North meets the South.".
