The Eccentrics. The Sunny Side of the Street
Janusz Majewski
2015, 1 h 52 minIn the late ‘50s Fabian, a war emigrant, jazz trombonist and brilliant
dancer, returns from England to his sister who lives in Ciechocinek.
Together with a group of local eccentrics and amateur musicians he
starts a swing big band.
After their first gig people’s interest
with the band surpasses all expectations. They receive loads of concert
proposals and start to be popular. Fabian meets an intriguing,
dark-haired Modesta and asks her to perform with his orchestra.
They
soon become lovers. They are stylish, dance fantastically, go to the
best restaurants and drive around Ciechocinek in a beautiful convertible
brought from England. They are like two colourful birds against the
dreary reality. Their looks and behaviour arouse a longing for freedom
and prosperity. However, one day Modesta disappears.
