Summary Saxophone and trumpet sounds rip the harbour dwellers of a small Peruvian coastal town from their sleep. The first fish stalls are set up. Hardly an hour later a huge procession is formed to the fishing port. It is San Pedro Day and thus national holiday for all fishermen in Peru. San Pedro, the wooden patron saint is supposed to bless villages and fishing grounds and avert all trouble. The holy Pedro goes by boat from village to village, people scream, fall in powerlessness, fish are consecrated and to all abundance: a cheeky shot of Peruvian brass music - "holy jazz in Peru". The film provides insights into one of the craziest festivals along the South American Pacific coast.
