Synopsis: There is a shared experience from Stalin’s concentration camps during the Finno persecution in the 30’s in all of the three men’s past. All three have also played in the orchestras of the camps. Music was a part of the Finno-American way of life in the Soviet Karelia before Stalin’s purges. It also became a profession after being freed from the camp. The real swing helped the men to get through the damaging experiences of the concentration camps, but also to look at life so that even in agony, there has always been a bright side, too.
