French Film Festival 2024: The Marching Band

This French spin on Mark Herman’s Brassed Off has a beating emotional pulse of its own. Thibaut is an internationally renowned conductor of the Lille Symphony Orchestra who travels the world. He discovers he was adopted – then also finds out he has a younger brother, Jimmy, who works in a school cafeteria and plays the trombone in a school marching band. While they seem to be worlds apart, their unwavering love of music unites them in difficult circumstances.
