    • Synopsis
    • Sebastian biggest passions are the rock band Vox Dei and his old Peugeot 505. Married with Jazmin and short of cash, Sebas decides to start working as a limo driver with his Peugeot. Among his frequent passengers is Jahlil, an old unkind Sufi who one day offers Sebas a large amount of money to drive him to La Paz. Sebas, reluctantly, accepts.
      Jahlil and Sebas don't agree on anything, not even on what music to play, Sebas likes Vox Dei, a progressive rock band from the 1970s, and Jahlil brings along his traditional Arabic music tapes. The road and Jahlil's deteriorated health, make them surmount obstacles and become good fellow travelers. Jahlil confesses that in La Paz he'll meet his brother Nazim and peregrinate along to Mecca.
      Jahlil's health worsens and Sebastian knows he has little time left. After a long and winding road, Jahlil arrives very weak to La Paz. There, after forty years, he meets his brother again. Sebas heads back home. His mission accomplished, his life changed.
