The Berlevag choir is an outstanding representative of Norwegian culture. Consisting of 30 singers from a small fishing village in the far north of the country, the group is invited to tour the United States. To various members of the choir, this is the first opportunity to visit the country. With the terrorist action on September 11, three weeks prior to embarkation, the journey takes on a new meaning for the singers. They find a nation in fear and mourning. With their music, they captivate people that witnessed the tragedy in New York close to. They visit Memphis, the land of Elvis Presley - a hero to a communist member of the chorus - and are given a royal welcome worthy of the Hollywood stars.
