Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
This drama, filmed on location in both Japan and Moscow, centers around the exploits of a former jazz musician who pursues a career as a promoter, becomes bored with his job, and takes a vacation to Moscow to help him decide what to do. In the Russian city he makes friends with a rebellious young trumpet player whom the protagonist begins to encourage. The friendship incites the ire of both the Japanese embassy and the lad's brother, a youth leader. The promoter finds himself alone and disillusioned after his young friend is arrested for fighting.
