When Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe), a conductor with a globe-trotting career to match his world-class reputation, discovers that he has leukaemia, his search for a bone marrow donor reveals a family secret. Two long-lost brothers, separated by the messy circumstances of their early childhood, are reunited in this uplifting, music-driven French film by Emmanuel Courcol. Courcol gives his latest film a touch of the robust humour and energy of The Full Monty combined with the Gallic tradition of stirring workers’ rights dramas. Observer
