In this film, friends and colleagues give insights in the two's work and creativity. It is a portrait of special father-son relationship, accentuated with their sublime concert moments, musical cosmos and their bright personalities they left behind.nn---nnEugen Cicero played with fabled singers as Shirley Bassey, Ella Fitzgerald, Caterina Valente, or legend Oscar Peterson and many more exceptional musicians.
