This biographical drama tells the story of legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Set in occupied Paris in 1943, the film follows Django at the height of his career as he faces the persecution of the Roma people and the pressures of the Nazi regime.

It portrays his struggle for survival, his family’s attempt to escape to Switzerland, and his confrontation with the harsh realities of war. Beyond celebrating his extraordinary musical talent, the film is a powerful story of courage, freedom, and the enduring strength of music in the darkest moments of history.
