    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.
