A young Parisian boy, Antoine Doinel, neglected by his derelict parents, skips school, sneaks into movies, runs away from home, steals things, and tries (disastrously) to return them. Like most kids, he gets into more trouble for things he thinks are right than for his actual trespasses. Unlike most kids, he gets whacked with the big stick. He inhabits a Paris of dingy flats, seedy arcades, abandoned factories, and workaday streets, a city that seems big and full of possibilities only to a child's eye.

As he secretly teaches music and forms a choir, he sparks hope and transformation. Les Choristes premiered in Hong Kong with English subtitles, was nominated eight times at the César Awards in 2005, winning Best Music and Best Sound, and received two Oscar nominations, including Best Foreign Language Film.
