When he learns he was adopted, he discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy, who works in a school cafeteria and plays the trombone in a small marching band.

Sensing his brother’s exceptional talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate, while Jimmy begins to dream of a different life… “A sunny comedy-drama illuminated by Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin“ Le Figaro “A veritable box office machine, Emmanuel Courcol’s fourth film offers a perfect blend of social satire and family drama“ Les Inrocks “This feel-good movie strikes just the right tone, or rather the right harmony, between laughter and drama, right up to its final, deeply moving movement“ Le Journal du Dimanche
