音乐纪录片《听风的歌》用诗意的镜头和绝美的音乐，记录了冰岛著名后摇乐队Sigur Rós在家乡冰岛小镇上举办的一系列免费演出。一首连着一首的灵魂乐音，飘荡在不论是教堂、废弃工厂、小镇的表演厅还是在空旷无人的荒野寂境。钢琴，木吉他，木贝司，敲击板，提琴，小号，甚至是石块之间的撞击声，这些原始的音色都在Sigur Rós创作下，编织出最接近自然与家乡气息的感觉，打动着上至老人下至孩童的人们或驱车或徒步地纷纷赶往演出场地，将自身放逐在冰岛的边疆。
本片是Sigur Rós首部官方电影，交织表演实况与团员访谈，纪录了令人动容的归乡旅程。Heima，冰岛语中意思是“回家”。本片正是2006年夏天，Sigur Rós结束了为期一年的世界巡回演出之后的回归之作。
