FFFA: My Brothers Band

Synopsis

A sensation at Cannes and one of France’s biggest box office of the year, this wildly entertaining film follows two very different siblings separated by fate and reunited by their love of music.

Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) is an internationally celebrated orchestra conductor who travels the globe. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test reveals he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances: Working in a school cafeteria, he cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band.

The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s exceptional talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and try to help nurture his brother’s untapped gifts.

MY BROTHER’S BAND is a rousing, feel-great trip to the cinema, expertly striking the perfect harmony between laughter and tears. Bring your family, your friends, and some tissues.
