Plot

In 1940s France, a new teacher at a school for disruptive boys gives hope and inspiration.

Sinekatalog’s take

A warm French drama about a new teacher who reaches a school of difficult boys through music. Barratier leans into sentiment, but the singing and the boys' faces give it real feeling. A well-loved, old-fashioned crowd-pleaser.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
