A struggling band find themselves attached to a fugitive and drawn into a series of old feuds and love affairs, as they try to stay together and find musical success.

VIBE

A smoky, melancholic dive into the struggles of jazz musicians. It's a gritty, atmospheric journey through ambition and despair, steeped in the soulful sounds of the blues. Feels like a late-night, rain-soaked contemplation on dreams that flicker and fade.
