Swing (2003) Synopsis & Summary

Synopsis

A talented young musician attempts to balance his musical ambition with his deep-rooted desire to please both his demanding father (Tom Skerritt) and his career-oriented fiancé (Dahlia Waingort) in this affective drama about important life choices from filmmaker Martin Guigui. There's nothing that Anthony (Innis Casey) wants more than to become a full-time musician, but despite encouragement from his supportive Great Uncle Bill (Jonathan Winters) it seems as if everyone else in Anthony's life is against the idea. Inspired to follow his heart by a beautiful and mysterious older woman (Jacqueline Bisset) who shows him how to find happiness through swing dancing, Anthony soon realizes that true fulfillment can come from the most unlikely of places. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
