At a school for troubled orphans of World War II, unruly behaviour is met with harsh discipline. When failed musician Clément arrives to teach, he tries to find a new way to reach the boys, so starts a choir with surprising results. A touching story with a beautiful soundtrack.

What a lovely film. My grandson watched it in his French class at school years ago and said I would enjoy it. |

So much humanity in the face of cruelty/inhumanity. Music and a big heart won big time. |

It was touching though the supervisor wasn't recognised and that's very sad. I think everyone liked the movie. |

Short film was very imaginative. Long film: Nice to see a film with such a happy ending and with mostly lovely characters. |

Touching. Improbable but uplifting & justice was seen to be done. Music magnificent. |

Poignant and charming. Enjoyable, compelling story that was beautiful and fearful at the same time. |

Really enjoyed my first visit to Fleet Film society. Made to feel really welcome by all the organisers & bar staff. Only downside was the awful jazz music before the screening! |

As a teacher myself, the highs of being in classroom were writ large for all to see: The lows, I'll not dwell on. Inspiration abounds in the most unexpected places in education! Long may it continue. |

Excellent acting by xxx choir boys. Very gritty in parts, more could have been made on the boy with 'real problems'. At least he burnt the place down in revenge! |

Good film. Excellent acting & shows the power of consistent 'love' to win through the hardness of individuals! Talents hidden are released when they are appreciated. Good choice for a summer evening! |

The choir is a lovely, deep, touching movie when violence is overcome by art and beauty. It leaves thinking of the many who are deprived of love but find inner strength in art. |

So enjoyable and heartfelt. The joy of music and its effect on troubled youngsters - giving them a shared purpose and taste of self-worth and success. Thank you! |

An extremely moving film - from every angle. Main characters beautifully played. What chance do some children have in life without love & understanding - which they lacked until the supervisor arrived & changed their lives. |

What a treat! a beautiful story poignantly told with a haunting and complementary musical backdrop. This film really touched my heart and was a powerful reminder of the potential in all young people when they receive nurturing, care and attention. A real joy to watch thank you. |
