The geography of Minas Gerais and the music of Milton Nascimento meet the North American railways. The singer's passion for the railroads is the starting point of the tour, with performances in New York and Washington, D.C, interspersed with talks about career, filmmaking, being onstage and hope.

The accordion, the instrument Milton has gained when he was a child, opens the window for his reminiscences of youth, between presentations in Chapel Hill and Atlanta. Milton also reflects on the 1970s: politics, drinking too much and everyday life.

Milton is enchanted with the Amazon forest and the indigenous communities. The magic he finds in nature - the echo of the mountains and the sea - syncretizes with several faiths. For Milton, life is to sublime; it is also his connection to music.

The tour is nearing its end. Despite the fatigue, the concerts are more powerful in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The conversations range from the reason for composing songs to the need to have and keep friends around. Inadvertently, in the backstage, Milton meets friends Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, who in delicate interviews talk about Milton's dimension in world music.
