Die leisen und die großen Töne

In the organizer's words:

As part of the 34th Summer Night Open-Air Cinema Fellbach

Thibaut is a famous conductor who travels the concert halls of the world. In the middle of his life, he learns that he has been adopted and that he also has a younger brother, Jimmy, who works in a school kitchen and plays the trombone in the brass band of a working-class town. The two brothers couldn't be more different. There is only one thing they agree on: their love of music. Thibaut is impressed by his brother's musical talent. He wants to right the injustice of their fate and give his brother the one chance he never had: to develop his talent, follow his heart and win a national competition with the small orchestra. Jimmy begins to dream of a completely different life.

Director Emmanuel Courcol has created a cinema of superlatives with this film: a story that overwhelms, touches and, above all, entertains, both on a small and large scale, in the private and political spheres.
