Closer to God plot

People have different ideas about how to get closer to God. In this documentary, the makers follow two Pakistani men. One is a dervish, who makes a lifelong pilgrimage with heavy metal rings around his legs. He breaks his feet in the desert, praying at every shrine he encounters along the way. The other is the keeper of an age-old musical tradition, for whom the idea of God lies in self-understanding and harmony with the environment, a harmony which he tries to achieve by studying lifelong and passing on his knowledge to new generations.
