Scratches of the Soul

Perhaps the richest collection of Macedonian musical heritage is carefully preserved, digitized and archived in the home of the Endendijk family in Sust, the Netherlands. The rich musical collection, collected throughout their lives, is the legacy that the Dutch couple plans to pass on to someone in Macedonia. For years, they have been living with the dilemma of whether there is an appropriate institution to take care of this heritage, given that historical archives are not properly preserved and some are lost forever. The film follows one family's struggle to preserve a part of Macedonian history.
