Synopsis

The 1920s in France, the Années folles (Crazy Years), were a time of artistic revolution and cultural reinvention—a decade that set the stage for modernity in Europe. In Paris, the City of Light, everything was in flux. The post-World War I generation rejected old traditions and embraced excess, freedom, and new forms of expression. From the glittering salons of Montmartre to the smoky jazz clubs of the Left Bank, Paris was the beating heart of the Jazz Age. "The Folly of the Jazz Age" takes viewers deep into the world of post-war Paris, where a group of charismatic but flawed individuals forge a vibrant cultural legacy. The series follows the intersecting lives of musicians like a young Django Reinhardt striving for his big break, artists like Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso exploring new boundaries, and writers like Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald struggling to find meaning and inspiration after the horrors of the war. The show focuses on the creative revolution of the era, exploring the burgeoning art deco movement, the rise of jazz music, the free-spirited flappers, and the decadence of Parisian high society. At the same time, it delves into the gritty underbelly of the city: political unrest, the challenges of the expatriate experience, and the consequences of living on the edge in an unstable world.
