"Thirty years ago, Andrei Simoniovich Filipov, the renowned conductor of the Bolshoi orchestra, was fired for hiring Jewish musicians. Now a mere cleaning man at the Bolshoi, he learns by accident that the Châtelet Theater in Paris invites the Bolshoi orchestra to play there. He decides to gather together his former musicians and to perform in Paris in the place of the current Bolshoi orchestra. As a solo violin player to accompany his old Jewish or Gypsy musicians he wants Anne-Marie Jacquet, a young virtuoso. If they all overcome the hardships ahead this very special concert will be a triumph."
"Twenty-five years after losing his job for hiring Jewish musicians, the former conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra attempts to stage a comeback by gathering his old orchestra together to play at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris."@en
""Al'époque de Brejnev, Andreï Filipov était le plus grand chef d'orchestre d'Union Soviétique. Mais après avoir refusé de se séparer de ses musiciens juifs, il a été licencié en pleine gloire. Trente ans plus tard, il travaille toujours au Bolchoï, mais ... comme homme de ménage. Un soir, il tombe sur un fax qui convie l'orchestre à venir jouer à Paris au Théâtre du Châtelet... Soudain, Andreï a une idée de folie : pourquoi ne pas réunir ses anciens copains musiciens, et les emmener à Paris en se faisant passer pour le Bolchoï ?" (Jacquette)."
