Since the glorious '90s, DJ Robert Šoko has been mixing music from the Balkans with beats and Western influences in original songs that sparkle with the vision of a multicultural Europe. This film accompanies Šoko, a former refugee from Yugoslavia, on a trip back to his roots from Berlin, where today refugees from Syria and Afghanistan attempt to live the dream he once pursued. On the road, the ever-curious DJ collects new musical impulses to weave into his signature Balkan Beats. With HERE WE MOVE, HERE WE GROOVE, a sort of party substitute in this period of transition, goEast intends to carve out some space in the programme for music, and its capacity to foster a sense of community.
