The old Caribbean music teacher Siméon is dead but his spirit lives on.  Orélie, a charming young girl, lives with her father Isidore, an unemployed guitar player and the ghost of the recently deceased Siméon.  She persuades Siméon  to help her father pursue a common goal: to create some Creole music.  To that end, Isidore and Siméon's ghost leave for Paris to make a record.

There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
