World famous tenor Jussi Björling never let success go to his head. He preferred sitting on a bridge with a fishing rod in his hand.

Despite his enormous success, in many ways he remained a shy boy. He sacrificed his health and maybe even his life for the sake of the music.

This definitive film biography includes testimony by Jussi’s children Anders, Lars, Ann-Charlotte (with much attention to their time together at Siarö) and his cousin Märta; former co-stars Kerstin Meyer, Kjerstin Dellert, Aase Nordmo-Løvberg; experts like Stefan Johansson and Harald Henrysson.

Directed by Torbjörn Lindqvist; Written By Torbjörn Lindqvist, Christer Eklund.
