“The choir boys, the musical” talks about forgotten children, but also the path that crosses the rainbow and leads to the light of April. Talk about innocence, of the game, of love… Talk about effort and solidarity, of work and enthusiasm… Talk about life. Talk about art. In 1949, substitute teacher Clement Mathieu arrives at the boarding school “pond bottom”, where director Rachin has imposed a severe and rigorous regime with no room for music. Mathieu, former unlucky composer, he breaks the rules to discover the beauty of the world to young people educated under the harshness of the Second World War. With this approach, inspired by his own childhood and an old French cinema classic, Christophe Barratier created one of the truly unforgettable films of the early 21st century, praised by the sublime music of Bruno Coulais. “The choir boys, the musical” It is not just the adaptation of a film that we all love. Es, at the same time, a commitment to talk about the need for music, Of art, for personal growth. As the ancient philosophers and thinkers said, It's not just that music tames the beasts (in this case, to some children who are more unruly than ferocious), but art is what makes us authentically human. Without the sensitivity, without the delicacy, without the nuances that illuminate the soul and personality, We would not be free, much less would we get to know what others are like inside..
