About

In 1949, an unemployed music teacher arrives at a strict French boarding school for difficult boys and tries to form a choir.

In 1949, Clément Mathieu (Gérard Jugnot), an unemployed music teacher and failed musician, arrives at Fond de l'Étang, a French boarding school for difficult boys. The school is run by director Rachin (François Berléand), whose regime is strict. Mathieu works as a supervisor and music teacher. To reach the boys, he sets out to form a choir. Among the pupils are Pierre Morhange (Jean-Baptiste Maunier) and young Pépinot (Maxence Perrin), who is waiting at the gate. The cast also includes Kad Merad as Chabert and Jean-Paul Bonnaire as Father Maxence.
