Synopsis
This film is a story about a band creating music under an oppressive communist regime in 1980s’ Romania.
The name of the band is Creativ Duo and they played avant-garde jazz music.
At a time when expressing your artistic or political beliefs could get you jailed or even killed by the country’s dictator, Creativ Duo risked their lives through their music and performances to promote freedom of expression.
Because of the state’s censorship, they could not release any albums in their own country. And yet, they became leaders in avant-garde music in the West.
The film reveals that freedom is an inner state and friendship can be affected by a political system.
This is a story about the past, but more importantly, it is about the present.
Through this film, I became part of the story.
