An absurd and offbeat plot, but pretty funny, actually. The Violin Concerto op 35 by Tchaicovsky as a challenge in the highlight final scene, when the music change the life of the characters.

Light and entertaining. Funny how the russian people in the movie speak perfect french amongst themselves, but when they speak with french people they speak really badly (but still with a good french accent), especially Andrei Filipov, it's like his not even trying to not sound french.. it's a funny detail, but often it's in the details ;) worth watching if you like that kind of movie.

A former world-famous conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre orchestra, known as "The Maëstro", Andreï Filipov had seen his career publicly broken by Leonid Brezhnev for hiring Jewish musicians and now works cleaning the concert hall where he once directed. One day, he intercepts an official invitation from the prestigious Théâtre du Châtelet. Through a series of mad antics, he reunites his old orchestra, now composed of old alcoholic musicians, and flies to perform in Paris and complete the Tchaikovsky concerto interrupted 30 years earlier. For the concerto, he engages a young violin soloist with whom he has an unexpected connection.Funny and beautiful, a good movie.
