‘This is the cradle of our beloved music. We need to verify our skills there’, said Michał Urbaniak to Polish jazz vocalist Urszula Dudziak to convince her to go and conquer the US with him. The film is a recording of the fascinating and tumultuous journey reported from off-screen by the artist herself, who was a remarkable story teller. The materials used include archival footage from the 1960s communist Poland, New York of the 1970s and the 1980s as well as the music itself. Listening to scat singing, we discover Dudziak as a woman, immigrant and, above all, an extraordinary artist working with the greatest jazz musicians.
