Die leisen und die großen Töne - Lichtburg Open Air am Dom

In the organizer's words:

Admission from 20:00

Thibaut is a famous conductor, a star in the classical music firmament. He has leukemia and is looking for a bone marrow donor. His mother confesses to him that he was adopted - but he has a brother who was adopted elsewhere. He is a factory worker in the north of France and in the middle of a struggle for his job, truly different from the life of a star conductor. So the encounter is difficult. And yet it ends so fraternally that it literally warms the heart. Not only does the conductor discover, like a miracle of genes, that the other is also a musician, albeit as a hobby and in a village band, but the film becomes a great parable about the value of reconciliation in a socially deeply divided society. Emmanuel Courcol and his two leading actors Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin create many engaging moments in front of the camera to capture the brothers' relationship, which is quite bumpy under the circumstances - for example when the duo celebrates their shared enthusiasm for music with the Dalida hit "Monday Tuesday... Laissez-moi danser". An incredibly clever, subtle and humane film. You'll be beaming with happiness when you leave the movie theater.
