In 1939, Nazi Germany declares war on freedom and demands conformity from its youth. But a group calling themselves Swing Kids rebel with their "swing music" from America. When two of them dare to stand up against the powerful forces around them -- traditions will be broken and loyalties must be crossed! Robert Sean Leonard (DEAD POETS SOCIETY) and Christian Bale (SHAFT, AMERICAN PSYCHO) deliver gripping performances as two friends who must choose between their individual freedom or loyalty to the murderous Third Reich.

Is there any escape from the bad times when 18 and 88 are all the rage? What about 27 and 45? Energetic in the musical segments, oppressive when the human natures are laid bare. Some climb the ladder intoxicated by newfound power, others cling to it with moral principles, and those who have lost their strength let go once and for all. Respect for those who found the courage to resist, even a small resistance against the rise of evil. Perhaps it helped them that they couldn’t foresee where it was all headed, while we can now easily judge and, with the distance of an observer, ponder how we might have acted. The decision between three and four clarinets was settled by the ending, not so much by its content but by the way it was delivered.
