In a vibrant and groundbreaking Russian musical set against the backdrop of mid-1950s Moscow, a close-knit group of friends defy the rigid Soviet norms by passionately embracing jazz, an art form that symbolizes freedom from the oppressive regime. The narrative centers on Mels, a diligent Communist whose life takes an unexpected turn when he falls deeply in love with Polly, a spirited woman who wholeheartedly supports the underground jazz scene and its values of individuality and creativity. This heartfelt story brilliantly portrays the struggles faced by those who dare to challenge the status quo, and their willingness to risk everything for love, self-expression, and personal liberation.
