Synopsis

The death of his mother causes Pierre, a great orchestra conductor, to think back to his school days in the late 1940s. A troubled child, Pierre is sent to a boarding school where eccentric teacher Mr Mathieu instills in him a love of music through involvement with the student choir. A touching and sweet film about the power of art and good teaching.
