The story of the reunion of Eroğlu Girls Orchestra, Turkey's first and only orchestra founded by girls in 1968, by one of Turkey's leading guitarists and arrangers, Cenk Eroğlu, constitutes the subject of the documentary film. The orchestra, which became very popular in the 1970s by appearing on TRT television programs, radio programs, and newspaper news, took the stage at the Presidential mansion, the prime minister's office, press balls, and concerts of the famous artists of its time such as Barış Manço, Erol Büyükburç, and Erol Pekcan.
In addition, it became known all over Turkey as a guest on the program of Halit Kıvaç, one of the famous presenters of those years. In the following years, the group disbanded for various reasons, and the members of the group were engaged in other works besides music. In the documentary "Tracking an Orchestra," which traces the once very popular orchestra, the story of the group members, who are now in their 70s and dealing with different jobs, are found, brought together by guitarist and arranger Cenk Eroğlu, and released a single in the studio. The musical understanding of the period is told, along with very useful information about social developments, the understanding of art, and artists of the time. The present and past lives of the characters will be told with an approach that will be intertwined.
