A surprising musician is representing the Soviet Union in 1925’s Paris Expo: Amre Kashaubayev, a traditional singer from rural Kazakhstan. Amre manages to steal the show every time he performs but remains an outsider in high-culture Paris. He forms a quick friendship with two American Jews, who empathize with his experience as an underdog -- George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, and he begins a flirtation with the beautiful photographer, Lee Abbott. This inspiring true story of a Kazakhstani folk hero illuminates how Amre’s talent and determination overcame the adversity within a repressive regime.
