Overview

After Elizabeth's husband dies, she begins to play her tenor saxophone again, and remembers when she was 15 and a member of the Blonde Bombshells, an all-girl (with one exception) swing band. Accompanied by the exception and urged on by her grand-daughter, Elizabeth hunts up all the old members of the band and urges them to perform, and in doing so, learns more than she knew about the band, its members, the roses on the drum set, and herself--the last of the Blonde Bombshells.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A warm, gently comedic exploration of rekindled friendships and creative joy, centered on older women rediscovering the music and camaraderie of their youth. It's a tender meditation on loss, time, and the surprising power of an old dream.
