JULIET, a white girl, falls in love with a dark-skinned ROMEO, a divine trumpet player from the Roma orchestra. Her father SATCHMO, a leader of the rival white band is disgusted with Romeo’s skin color. At the upcoming Festival of trumpeters Romeo must prove to him that, due to his talent, he is the right man for his daughter. Satchmo’s willing to overcome his belief and give up his daughter to the Roma only if Romeo proves to be better than him.

Things complicate when Romeo’s half-brother ROCKY corrupts the band members to back him up in front of his father as a leading trumpeter. After a restless night Sandokhan finally decides that Rocky goes to the competition. Romeo takes the only possible step in order to reach his goal: he physically disables Rocky to play at the closing celebration.

Sachmo’s fascinated by Romeo’s musical talent as his trumpet sounds miraculous. It’s a shriek of Romeo’s soul for forbidden love. Juliet, to whom the music is dedicated, fights to break free from her locked bedroom to arrive on time at the Festival of the trumpeters, to hear her beloved Romeo’s musical triumph...
