The whistlers may never become famous or rich, but they will undoubtedly win a place in your heart.

In the heart of Hollywood, a colorful international crowd gathers for the Masters of Musical Whistling, a competition where passion is the only true currency.

Director Christopher Nelius approaches his subjects with a sharp sense of humor and deep tenderness. Without ever slipping into caricature, he crafts a layered portrait of driven individuals who find recognition and connection within this niche community.
