Then and now, Alvar's escape is music-especially jazz music. When Alvar was a teenager in World War II Sweden, he dreamed of being in a real jazz band. The old man playing her favorite song is Alvar.
When Steffi hears her favorite jazz song playing through an open window of a retirement home on her walk home from school, she decides to go in and introduce herself. The only way she escapes is through her music-especially jazz music.
She's never fit in with any of the groups at school, and she's viciously teased by the other girls in her class.
