THE SWELL SEASON

Prima sezóna

Danny, a high-school student, is the hero of this series set in the early forties. Everyone in his small Czech town thinks he's girl crazy, but he knows it isn't so. Danny plays the tenor saxophone in the student jazz orchestra, but as this is the period of the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, jazz is forbidden. He doesn't give up, but fights for his dreams with youthful vitality and the irony one turns to when dealing with fate and hard times. In each of the independent episodes he asks himself 'Will I find love this time?'
