The film on the Soviet jazz. Great shooting, brilliant installation, looseness, rhythm, energy. In 1986, the USSR State Committee for cinematography has not released a picture of the screen in the original version. Then the filmmakers had to resort to the "introduction" Andrei Voznesensky, respected in high circles. Most often in this opening speech repeated the words "experiment", "improvisation" and mentioned "new thinking" and "new look". The film was released only after such a compromise.
