Synopsis

Simon Nardis arrives in Brest. He has a simple repair job to do on a ship. Twenty-four hours later his life is in turmoil. Ten years earlier he had given up playing the piano professionally. The break was sudden. Nobody ever understood what had happened. Here in the Green Dolphin jazz club the young musicians play well, but Simon can’t bear the way they interpret it. The music that he has been avoiding for so long contrives to make Simon miss the last train to Paris. He goes over to the piano. When at last his fingers touch the keys, the result is pitiful. The audience is embarrassed, unsure how to react. Only Debbie, the club’s owner, understands the torment Simon must be in. She glides silently onto the stage, and begins to sing a song. Simon’s fingers find inspiration in her voice. The moment is magical, and Simon is deep into jazz again.
