A Russian film crew is coming to Varanasi to shoot an arthouse film. The whole atmosphere of the ancient city encourages us to think about the meaning of what is happening, about the essence of cinema, about values that are usually considered obvious and not discussed. Soon, the filming process begins to collapse, and the film begins to shoot itself. This movie is a parable about the crumbling of the world and correction, about love as the only force capable of healing the world.

"Songs of the Djinns" is a fairy tale about magic. On New Year's Eve two actresses wander the streets of Varanasi. Meanwhile, in Goa, preparations are underway for a musical event featuring pop stars. One day, they will all find themselves on a ship, taking turns telling their stories. The ship will sail down a quiet river, and on the shore, everyone will be listening in carefully: bats in ruined palaces, wandering conjurers, and touring DJs. They need to hear the singing of the djinns.
