Comedy, Music, Thriller

The story of some young people who grew up in a working-class area in Zurich in the late 1950s. The plain living style of their educators is not on their wavelength. They find the occurences in the newly opened Jazz club much more tempting. Down there is what must not be up there: spontaneous lust for life. Jazz electrifies them all.

Plot

In my opinion, Daniel Helfer has succeeded in mastering a masterpiece, Germany was little noticed. This is especially under the angle of view that the symbiosis of film and jazz has really succeeded.The music:Especially the trumpets are miraculously played in the style of Miles Davis. The whole thing always has an echo to the fifties with modal jazz, cool jazz and German hits. The Louis Prima version of "Buena sera Senorita" has succeeded jazz-moderately.
