They are traveling on a rickety wagon, a crier and a storyteller with their wonder box. The view is sold into the peep-box stage, and the peep-box looks back: into the laughing faces of the young audience, who follow the story of Emperor Kanga Mussa on his golden pilgrimage with wide eyes. Accompanied by Gheorghe Zamfir's enchanting music and Attila Hörbiger's concise voice, a mixture of fairy tales and travel pictures unfolds, taking the audience to foreign and mystical places such as Timbuktu or Djenné, where the large mosque by architect Hagmüller is prominently featured.
