His search for a donor leads him to discover, at 37, that he was, in fact, adopted\u2026 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\u00a0Emmanuel Courcol\u2018s heartfelt ode to the power of music and brotherly love.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN THEATERS IN SPRING 2026, FOLLOWED BY A DIGITAL RELEASE.
