In January 1949, former music teacher Clément Mathieu arrives at a boarding school for orphans and troubled boys. There he finds a severe regime where the boys receive harsh punishment for their faults. When he sees that this treatment is not working he decides to reach out to the children by teaching the boys to sing. Through his methods he begins to change not only the boys but the lives of the staff and indeed himself. This audience favourite is a heart-warming tale in French with English subtitles.
