Hannah is 16 years old and desperately longs to play upright bass in her school’s prestigious all-male jazz band. Although her talent and courage earn her a place in the group, the boys are dead set on maintaining their all-male status and stop at nothing to discourage her. Set in 1960’s France, this colorful film follows young Hannah as she struggles to come of age in a world where being female and Jewish are two strikes against her.
