Thibaut, an internationally renowned orchestra conductor, is diagnosed with leukemia and desperately in need of a bone marrow transplant. His search for a donor leads him to discover, at 37, that he was, in fact, adopted… and actually has a biological brother somewhere in France. Their lives may be worlds apart \u2014 Thibaut was raised in a posh Parisian suburb and has a seemingly charmed life, while Jimmy lives in a small working-class town, slings hash in a cafeteria and plays trombone in the local marching band. But blood runs thicker than water and it turns out that, each in his own way, they share a profound connection to music. Actors Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin bring them to life with all of their longings, resentments and complexes intact, in Emmanuel Courcol<\/strong>‘s heartfelt ode to the power of music and brotherly love.<\/p>\n

After training as an actor and appearing in a number of feature films, Emmanuel Courcol<\/strong> ventured into screenwriting, collaborating with writer-director Philippe Loiret on Mademoiselle<\/em> (2001), The Light<\/em> (COLCOA 2005) and Welcome<\/em> (COLCOA 2009 Audience Award), for which they were nominated for a C\u00e9sar Award for Best Original Screenplay. He cowrote the scripts for Fran\u00e7ois Favrat’s Boomerang<\/em> (2015 and Kamen Kalev’s Face Down<\/em> (2015). Courcol made his directorial debut with Ceasefire<\/em> (COLCOA 2017). His second feature, The Big Hit<\/em> (COLCOA 2021) was awarded the European Film Award for Best Comedy. The Marching Band<\/em><\/strong>, his third feature, premiered in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is presented at TAFFF 2024 prior to its release in France.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/en-fanfare.jpeg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
