SYNOPSIS
In this gentle French movie, music teacher Clement Mathieu (Gerard Jugnot) lands a job at a boys' boarding school populated by delinquents and orphans, and run by a martinet headmaster (Francois Berleand). Sensing potential in the rambunctious ruffians, Mathieu forms a choir to rein in his charges through the transforming power of song, even at the probable cost of his career.

Some reviewer comments:

"A delicious movie, it's just beautiful"

"Emotional power at it's best"

"Uplifting! Puts a smile on your face! A wondrous breath of fresh air"
