Synopsis:

It is the Germans' favourite song and is considered the epitome of the north: LA PALOMA. But LA PALOMA is more than Freddy Quinn and Hans Albers. It is the grande dame of popular music and the most played song in the world. In Zanzibar it is played at weddings, in Romania at the end of a funeral, in Mexico it is the protest song against the newly elected president. Around the world it is adorned with different lyrics, rhythms and instrumentation. In its soul, the melody, however, LA PALOMA has always remained true to itself. The film follows the song on its journey around the world and shows the moving career of a wonderful melody. What is the secret of this song? Why does it move people of so many skin colours and religions to tears? Answers are provided by Kalle Laar, collector and editor of 5 LA PALOMA CD compilations to date, and the LA PALOMA versions by Elvis Presley, Coco Schumann Quartet (Berlin), Makame Faki with Culture Musical Club (Zanzibar), Eugenia León (voc.) y la Puebla Philharmonic Orqestra (Mexico), Harry Koizumi, Matt Forster (Hawaii), Blaskapelle Anina-Steierdorf (Romania), Los Jóvenes del Cayo (Cuba), Kontrairo (Spain), Freddy Quinn, Hans Albers and many others.
