France, 1949. A failed composer, with the measured sensitivity of a great and dignified loser, is hired as a supervisor in a re-education institution for minors but, against the severity of the cynical director, he contrasts the sweetness of his music lessons. Inspired by the 1947 film “La Cage aux Rossignols”.

Nominee to the Oscar Awards in 2005 for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song “Vois sur ton chemin”, Bruno Coulais (Composer) and Christophe Barratier (Lyrics).
