Synopsis: | 1900 is the story of a great jazz pianist who is found as a newborn baby on a transatlantic ship on the first day of the twentieth century and is baptised thus. 1900 is a man without parents, nationality or identity. Never setting foot ashore, his home is the sea and his language is the music he plays on the ship's piano. The other character in the story, the Narrator, recreates the atmosphere on the ship, 1900's peculiar childhood, 1900's decision to leave the ship and their meeting after the Second World War on the ship, which is about to be blown up, with 1900 on it. | |||||

| At the turn of the 20th Century, the great cruise liner Virginia shuttles back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean, transporting passengers from old Europe to the New World. When an abandoned baby is found on board the sailors christen Novecento 1900. The child is destined to a strange fate. Novecento will never leave the ship as long as he lives, yet he becomes the greatest jazz musician the world would never know. He only knows his music, which has a magical effect on everyone who hears. For six years before World War II, Tim Tooney played trumpet with him and Novecento gave him his story... | |||||
