The music is the star of this film. And the musicians, of course. The story of the growing friendship of Max and Swing is a nice and well played structure holding the whole thing together, as Max learns about Swing's people and gets accepted into their life. If you know the music of the "Hot Club of France" and the power of Django Reinhardt's playing, then you don't want this film to end. I wonder if Mandino Reinhardt (who plays himself) is a descendant of Django - sure plays like one!
