My Dear New Orleans
Set in America at the beginning of the 20th century in the southern harbor town of New Orleans. The city's name is left over from it's time as a French colony, the Creole culture of those of mixed black and white race, Spanish, Caribbean; a town of mixed cultures from many peoples; a town which gives off it's own unique fragrance. In this city music overflows everywhere, and the people's lives are entwined with the music.
Joy Bee comes back to his hometown, New Orleans, as a successful Jazz musician. The muggy wind from the Mississippi River reminds him a memory from ten years ago...
He is a Creole brought up in a back-street district where he found out music was his life. One day, he met his femme fatale, Lulu. They fell in love each other. This love gave him an everlasting love song, "Sweet Black Bird".

As soon as the Spirit of Time turns on the lights in a half-wrecked revue theater on a street in Paris, a dream world appears. Frantic clapping and cheers resound while gorgeous stars stand in a flood of dazzling light. The curtain of the golden stage now rises for only tonight.
