SWING! YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE RHYTHM

The war is over and life goes on as before. They even opened music cafes, including the Černá perla, where they play swing. But the coup of February 1948 will destroy many hopes. The times are not in favor of music cafes - let alone American jazz and swing, which defy committed notions of music for working people.
Three singers from Černá perla are playing their part in this difficult time. Can any of them, despite the twists and turns of the times, find a fateful opportunity or happiness in life? "Life is a wide ocean, a person is a small ship on it, each of us, driven by desire, races for our happiness..."
SWING! is a story of love adventures, unexpected twists, almost detective plots and, above all, unrestrained rhythm, swing dance and two dozen famous swing songs such as A Girl Born to Rhythm, Crazy Day, My Love is Jazz, Swingers' Convention, Wandering in the Rhythm, Hm Hm, Telephone Fox , Recipe for a mood, Hunting for a song, etc. All accompanied by a swing orchestra.
Tune in to swing - the heart beats in syncopation! You know us by the rhythm.
