A political musical play set in Soviet-era Moscow, where a youth subculture resists conformity through jazz, dance and underground culture. Music is carved onto X-ray discs and passed in secret as young people search for their voice and dream of a freer world beyond the USSR. As pressure from the state intensifies, friendships shift, choices become dangerous and those dreams begin to fracture. What starts as rebellion through music turns into a struggle to hold on to identity, love and freedom under constant threat.
