Documentary about the Amsterdam accordionist Johnny Meijer, who died in January 1992 at the age of 79.

The film portrays a virtuoso accordionist towards the end of his career. The first shots of this documentary were filmed two weeks before his death when Meijer went to buy a dinner-jacket for his (last) performance in the Concertgebouw. The story is completed by people close to him, especially by Meijer's youngest son.
