Plot

The ghosts of a middle-aged woman and a precocious little girl help an unwed jazz musician and a bar dancer reverse their bad fortune.

Sinekatalog’s take

Two ghosts try to help a luckless jazz musician and a bar dancer turn their fortunes around. The comedy-fantasy is quirky, laid-back and low-key. For viewers who like eccentric indie whimsy with a jazz mood.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
