An irresistibly heartwarming, audience-favorite dramedy about a world-renowned conductor who discovers an unknown brother leading a brass band fighting to save their factory.

Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) is a celebrated conductor performing in the world’s most prestigious concert halls. Jimmy (Pierre Lottin), by contrast, is an ordinary factory worker. Neither knew the other existed until they meet as adults – brought together by Thibaut’s urgent need for a donor. Despite having little in common, they share a love of music. Soon, the polished maestro finds himself rehearsing with a scrappy brass band at a struggling factory in a small northern French town. Blending the charm of Brassed Off with the feel-good spirit of The Intouchables, this socially conscious crowd-pleaser builds to a rousing and emotional finale that’s impossible to resist.
