The mesmerizing style of Persian-Armenian Theremin virtuoso, Armen Ra, has garnered the admiration of fans on multiple continents. He is considered one of the finest Theremin players in the world today. Captivated by Armen Ra's music, filmmaker Robert Nazar Arjoyan chronicles Armen's day-to-day life through interviews, photos, and archive videos. We are transported through Armen's earliest years as a child in Iran, to his wild time modeling and tearing up the Drag scene in New York, along with his recovery from alcohol addiction, and more. Along the way we are witnessing his triumphant transcendence into a world renowned master of the Theremin, the first electronic instrument ever made. Invented by Russian physicist Leon Theremin in 1920, it is the only instrument played without physically touching it, but rather through the vibrational interplay of human hands with its unique sensory detectors. The complex seven octave theremin is extremely difficult to play, much less, to master. For that reason it is no longer being made. Armen Ra's mastery of this other-worldly instrument puts him in a class of his own. And this film, a true sensory immersion, is also, in a class all its own.
