IN POST PRODUCTION
Based on the discovery of a notebook of forgotten photos and notes, the film tells the story of the meeting, out of the narrow standards of 1950s America, between the white aristocrat Pannonica de Koenigswarter, author of this notebook, and the brilliant black pianist Thelonious Monk. An encounter placed under the sign of the fight of black musicians for the recognition of their art.
