"Mecca" is a documentary that tells the story of Miro Žbirka, a shy spectacle outsider who shocked the music industry by winning the Golden Nightingale poll, a prestigious music award in Czechoslovakia, after 14 consecutive wins by Karel Gott. The film follows Žbirka's journey from his early days as a long-haired rocker to his rise to fame and his struggles with the temptations of the communist party during the socialist era. Through his open confession, contemporary footage, and extensive archival material, the film paints a dynamic portrait of a musical legend who remained true to his faith in music and overcame great social revolutions and life changes with elegance.
