Follow the adventures of Max, Hanno, Jamie and David – four friends in their mid-twenties, traveling from Berlin to Morocco, trying to reach Casablanca in order to perform at a concert. Setting off with no money, they must fund the road trip by selling their own CDs, giving street performances, and organizing spontaneous musical events along the way. Indulging in the youth and underground music cultures of Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, the four characters also hope to collaborate with diverse musicians.
Will they be able to sell enough CDs to reach the concert in time? Will they be able to overcome the physical weaknesses from eating sparingly, being overworked, and sleeping in boiling hot tents?
What will they discover about themselves and the different cultures and people they come across? Hindered by language barriers, lacking money, and time pressure, they are solely reliant on each other and their determination to reach their goal in time.
In a time when the music industry is steadily in decline, 39 Days aims to show a new, possibly groundbreaking, way of marketing oneself as an artist. The four friends will promote themselves through the internet, sell their CDs independently, and sell self-designed t-shirts. Without a manager trying to organize gigs and increase record sales, the four friends will do it all on their own. Their aim is to show that all is possible. All it takes is the love for music, the product, and the power of will.
