Why we chose it

A conductor from Paris’s concert halls leads an amateur brass band from a working-class town. The band on screen is the real local group that French audiences fell for. These trombones, tubas and trumpets knocked the Hollywood musical giant “Wicked” off the top of the French box office.

Synopsis

Paris. A conductor collapses during rehearsal. The diagnosis is leukemia, and his hope is a marrow transplant. A DNA test reveals he isn’t related to his sister, and the trail leads him to the working-class north of France. Jimmy works in a school cafeteria – a divorced father and trombonist in an amateur brass band. They have nothing in common, but Thibaut discovers his untapped talent. When the band loses its conductor, Thibaut takes the amateurs from a striking factory to the competition.
