Jazz infernal
Synopsis
Koffi, a young trumpeter from Ivory Coast, arrives in Montreal carrying the burden of his father's musical legacy. The city's contrasting silence and noise mirror his inner turmoil as he searches for belonging. Amidst the unfamiliar, Koffi finds that true solace lies not in a new home, but in confronting his own identity and the echoes of his past.
