Set in Moscow in 1956, Boogie on the Bones tells the story of young stilyagi rebels who risk everything to embrace Western jazz culture under the shadow of the Soviet regime. At the center is Mels, a Komsomol officer torn between his duty to the state and his newfound love for the mysterious Polly, discovered during a police raid. Guided by the smuggler Doctor Bob and the charismatic Fred, Mels’s journey traces the price of self-expression in a society that demands conformity.
