Description

After World War I jazz music unites the divided countries of Europe. The new formed Jazz Republic introduces an unlimited amount of Eurobonds for all Europeans to live upon the interest of one's money. It leads to a complete bankruptcy. This film is an adaptation of a screenplay that the Flemish poet Paul van Ostaijen wrote in Berlin and Antwerp between 1919 and 1921.
