Classical music was once the pop music of its time and thus meant for entertainment. The first stars in music were Franz Liszt and Nicola Paganini, and their concerts were similar to today's pop-rock concerts, where the audience fell into a trance. Many Slovenian pop musicians have a classical music education, they still appreciate classical music and listen to it often, but have abandoned it for various reasons, but it nevertheless represents the basis for their creation.
As the protagonists of the documentary, the creators chose eight of the most prominent Slovenian pop musicians who started their musical career in classical music. They talk about their experiences in a relaxed way Jan Plestenjak, Neisha, Omar Naber, Brigita Šuler, Raay, Matjaž Vlašič, Boštjan Gombač, Matjaž Robavs from the group Eroika and DJ Umek. Broadcast with the help of a moderator Juret Godler it gently and gradually introduces the viewer to the rich world of classical music through different periods, and at the same time dispels prejudices about classical music, which the musicians explain all the time with interesting stories, anecdotes and performances of the most well-known classical works.
