Surprise family connections bring a renowned composer to lead a community marching band.
This French spin on Mark Herman’s Brassed Off (the British comedy-drama about colliery bands) has a beating emotional pulse of its own.
Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) is an internationally renowned conductor of the Lille Symphony Orchestra who travels the world. He discovers he was adopted – then also finds out he has a younger brother, Jimmy (Pierre Lottin), who works in a school cafeteria and plays the trombone in a school marching band. While they seem to be worlds apart, their unwavering love of music unites them in difficult circumstances. The third feature film by screenwriter, actor and director Emmanuel Courcol emerges as an immensely touching and melodious work, bringing relationships and music to the fore.
"Even the most austere observer would be hard pushed not to shed a tear or two."
