Wonderful Feels Like This

Описание

For Steffi, going to school everyday is an exercise in survival. Shes never fit in with any of the groups at school, and shes viciously teased by the other girls in her class. The only way she escapes is through her music - especially jazz music.

When Steffi hears her favorite jazz song playing through an open window of a retirement home on her walk home from school, she decides to go in and introduce herself.

The old man playing her favorite song is Alvar. When Alvar was a teenager in World War II Sweden, he dreamed of being in a real jazz band. Then and now, Alvars escape is music - especially jazz music.

Through their unconventional but powerful friendship, Steffi comes to realize that she wont always be stuck and lonely in her town. She can go to music school in Stockholm. She can be a real musician. She can be a jitterbug, just like Alvar.

But how can Steffi convince her parents to let her go to Stockholm to audition? And how it that Steffis school, the retirement home, the music, and even Steffis worst bully are somehow all connected to Alvar? Can it be that the people least like us are the ones we need to help us tell our own stories?
