Tony "Bazika" is a person who never knew how to keep his mouth shut. But he is quite good at waving his fists without any words. In 1962, Dr. Don Shirley, one of the best jazz pianists of his time, was hired as a driver by such a person, a man with dark skin but a light soul. He needs a driver in order to go with a concert to the south, where representatives of his race are not very well liked. How many problems can arise because of this. But neither Tony nor Don cares, because there is something more valuable than skin color - Shirley's music and genius. It takes a lot of courage to change the people around you.
