Newport 1958, a summer day.
Two events collide: The Newport Jazz Festival and the America Cup sailing regatta.
Right in the middle of it all is the photographer Bert Stern, world-famous for his “Last Sitting” photo session with Marilyn Monroe. Stern succeeds in capturing the personalities of those portrayed – in seemingly impressionistic snapshots – be it the musicians on stage or seemingly arbitrarily selected faces from the audience, which reflect joie de vivre, relaxation and rapture.
