Several pre-revolutionary singers such as Mahasti, Homeira and Marzieh became famous for his songs, and with the sound of his violin, many fell in love with Iranian music. He became isolated after the victory of the revolution, although his music was never isolated. Parviz Yahaghi died in February of 2007. The film looks at his life in his own words and in the last years of his life.
