Synopsis

The true story of a 1920s Canadian jazz band who play their every performance gagged and almost completely immobilized by thick cords which bind them hand and foot. The music they produce - from a full range of instruments, yet without recourse to the usual limbs and orifices - is a moving triumph of courage over self-imposed adversity.
