Synopsis
Thirty years ago, Andrei Simoniovich Filipov, the renowned conductor
of the Bolshoi orchestra, lost his prestigious job when he was fired
for hiring Jewish musicians. Now a cleaning man at the Bolshoi, he
learns by accident that the Châtelet Theater in Paris invites the
Bolshoi orchestra to play there.
He decides to gather together his former musicians and to perform in
Paris in the place of the current Bolshoi orchestra. As a solo
violin player to accompany his old Jewish or Gypsy musicians he
wants Anne-Marie Jacquet (Mélanie Laurent - INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS),
a young virtuoso. If they all overcome the hardships ahead this very
special concert will be a triumph.
