Film Synopsis
Each year, Mardi Gras is marked in New Orleans, Louisiana, by two weeks of
festivities that enliven the whole town. New Orleans has a reputation
as the most dangerous and deprived of the United States, but for those who
organise the flamboyant musical parades it is a chance to rescue the youngsters
from a life of penury and crime. Mardi Gras is more than a celebration,
it is an opportunity to liberate those who live on the margins and help them
find their way to a better life...
