Synopsis

Marc Savoy speaks of Cajun music with the same fervent certainty that animates the music itself. Renowned filmmaker Les Blank journeys into the heart of Cajun country to depict a couple deeply committed to safeguarding Louisiana French culture in all aspects of their lives. The vibrant spirit of Cajun music—its distinctive cries and soulful wails—permeates the kitchens, porches, and dance halls of the Savoys' community in Eunice, Louisiana.
