Synopsis
Wajd is an Arabic term which indicates all the emotion of amorous feeling. In this case we are dealing with divine love, and the transport which is aroused expressed through singing and music. The film aims to explore the great diversity of musical forms which celebrate God in the Muslim religion. From the animated litanies of Senegal to the ancestral rites of Egypt and Tunisia, plus Indian music and Turkish cosmic dances, the heart of Sophism is penetrated, in which Islam - which does not understand liturgies in the same way as the Christian or Jewish religions - has developed the best of its musical expression.
