Saxophon Susy is a Weimar-era comedy directed by Karel Lamač, starring the radiant Anny Ondra. Aristocrat Anni and Susy, who dream of the stage, swap identities because they are dissatisfied with their lives; their escapades, stretching from Berlin to London, serve as a backdrop for the convergence of the rhythm of jazz and the desire for freedom. Bringing the spirit of international co-production to the screen, the film has been restored using missing segments sourced from various archives.
