    • Synopsis
    • This is the story of passion for jazz - and a femme
      fatale - intertwined with the absurdity and cruelty of
      fascism and communism which dominated
      Czechoslovakia during and after the Second World
      War. It is set mostly in Prague, starting in 1939 and
      ending in 1950, when George emigrated to Canada
      at the age of 38 after 11 years of swing and secrecy,
      love and hate, trust and betrayal, fear and freedom.
