Martin Hederos tog sig ut i världen med rockbandet The Soundtrack of Our Lives, men har över tid rört sig sömlöst mellan olika genrer och stilar. Vi följer honom som medlem i banden Tonbruket och Hederosgruppen och i ett första möte med Kristian ”The tallest man on earth” Matsson. Det handlar också om det etablerade samarbetet med Irya Gmeyner och kompositionerna till SVT-serien Jag for ner till bror. Vi följer Martin på konserter och musikaliska möten runt om i Sverige, inte minst till hans starka rötter i den värmländska spelmansmusiken. Vad har mer präglat honom och varför drivs han av att möta en publik? En film om samspel, känsla och musikens betydelse i människors liv. Dokumentär av Ulrika Stenström, Jonatan Gammel och Kristoffer Ljungqvist.
