Porquerolles, l'île du jazz

A tribute to music and the beauty of an island born under the auspices of love. The island of Porquerolles was an adventurer’s gift to his beloved at the start of the 20th century. For an entire week, prestigious musicians arrive on this dream island off the coast of Hyères, for the pleasure of meeting and playing together. The local population is fond of its festival - people like Manu, the lighthouse keeper; the sailors of the "Saint Christophe", who day after day, and in all weather conditions, cross the harbor on board an old tanker to supply the island with drinking water; or the old winegrowers of Porquerolles. A love story filmed by a musician-filmmaker, a film set to music by artists for whom jazz is way of being and looking at the world.
