Synopsis
MAYBE BANGLADESH … these words, spoken by a Nepalese
cook in Bavaria, Germany, set the ball rolling. What we get is
a trip of imaginative dimensions. Erich, a musician with itchy
feet, wants to track an unlabeled cassette back to where it
originated. All because of a haunting voice singing of Govinda.
A sound Erich just can't get out of his head.
Will Erich find the singer? Is there a divine plan at work in
the background? And just who is Govinda? This simple but
captivating tale was documented on video. But rather than a straightforward documentation, the film blends the story of Erich's journey with fiction and embellishes it with cartoons and humour.
