Synopsis

Max, an only child, is 10 years old. He loves Manouche jazz, a music he discovered the first time he heard the guitar virtuoso Miraldo play. This music becomes his passion and brings him to the town's Manouche neighbourhood, where he buys an old guitar. Max will learn about Manouche music and culture through the lessons Miraldo agrees to give him. He quickly makes friends with Swing, a young gypsy girl who is the same age as he is and whose charisma, self-confidence and freedom fascinate him.
