Thibaut is a successful conductor, recently diagnosed with leukaemia. His best hope for survival is a bone marrow transplant from a suitable family donor. His sister takes the test, but the results lead to the revelation that Thibaut was actually adopted as a child - and that he has a secret biological brother, cafeteria worker Jimmy. The two brothers meet and discover a shared passion for music, and before long form a strong bond via an unexpected collaboration with Jimmy’s workplace marching band…
The Marching Band is a delight - a French comedy-drama that’s as funny as it is
heartwarming. Boasting a pair of charismatic leading performances from Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin, director Emmanuel Courcol’s new film is a real winner.
