THE MARCHING BAND

By Emmanuel Courcol (France, 2024, 1h43)
Starring : Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Lottin et Sarah Suco

Thibaut is an internationally renowned conductor. He learns he was adopted and discovers the existence of a brother, Jimmy, who plays the trombone in a marching band from the north of France. Everything seems to set them apart, except their love of music. Between laughter and tears, a subtle, humane and optimistic film that wonderfully celebrates living together.

You'll be able to preview the film in the presence of the cast and crew on Friday, November 8, 2024 at the Casino d'Arras !

This screening will mark the launch of a series of events around the film in cinemas across the Hauts-de-France region.
