Joseph abandona Checoslovaquia a mediados de los años veinte con un violín bajo el brazo y la firme intención de conocer mundo. Sus pasos pronto lo conducirán desde los viejos cafés del París de la bohemia a surcar los océanos como segundo violín a bordo de los vapores que recorren las grandes rutas hasta América, China, Japón o Yibuti. En sus viajes, el joven violinista irá sumando experiencias y componiendo una nostálgica imagen de la vida durante el primer tercio del siglo veinte. Salpicado por una multitud de peculiares personajes: un lavandero chino aficionado a la fotografía, noctámbulos músicos franceses, femmes fatales y sedientos empresarios neoyorquinos de los años de la ley seca, Buscando un pájaro azul abre una ventana a una efímera y despreocupada era, la del jazz, los salones de baile y el primer turismo transoceánico, que floreció entre las dos grandes guerras.
