A world-famous orchestra conductor discovers a brother he never knew existed: a school cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a small-town marching band. Determined to help his newfound sibling realize a talent that has gone unnoticed for far too long, he embarks on an unforgettable journey of family, hope and second chances. 


Filled with humor and heart, this crowd-pleasing Cannes sensation charmed audiences across France.
