Cuando Adolf Hitler está a punto de conducir a su país a la guerra, imponiendo una dura disciplina que niega la libertad individual, grupos de jóvenes alemanes, entusiasmados por la política y el mensaje de libertad de la música swing americana, se rebelan contra ese orden. Conocidos como los "Chicos del Swing", imitan la última moda inglesa y americana: llevan abrigos demasiado grandes, sombreros hongo, paraguas negros y el pelo largo. Su pasión por la exuberancia del baile se basa en un gran conocimiento de la música, y lo que empieza siendo una inocente rebelión juvenil, se convierte en una peligrosa rebelión política contra la amenazante marea nazi.

Is there any escape from the bad times when 18 and 88 are all the rage? What about 27 and 45? Energetic in the musical segments, oppressive when the human natures are laid bare. Some climb the ladder intoxicated by newfound power, others cling to it with moral principles, and those who have lost their strength let go once and for all. Respect for those who found the courage to resist, even a small resistance against the rise of evil. Perhaps it helped them that they couldn’t foresee where it was all headed, while we can now easily judge and, with the distance of an observer, ponder how we might have acted. The decision between three and four clarinets was settled by the ending, not so much by its content but by the way it was delivered.
