for its American release. It is a musical that deals with Soviet

Mels,
a member of Komsomol (the youth wing of Soviet Communist Party),
helps break up a hipster’s party. He briefly meets and is
intrigued by a hipster girl named Polly, who invites him to hang
out with her friends on "Broadway." Mels is drawn to
Polly and seeks to win her over by becoming part of their world of
colorful fashions, dancing, and loud music. He begins to adopt
their fashions and even purchases a saxophone off the black market
which he learns to play in the illicit jazz style…
