Plot[]
Widely successful orchestra conductor Pierre Morhange returns to France when his mother dies. He reminisces about his childhood inspirations through the pages of a diary kept by his old music teacher Clément Mathieu. In 1949, a young Pierre is the badly behaved son of single mother Violette. He attends a boarding institution, Fond de L'Etang ("Bottom of the Pond"), for "difficult" boys presided over by strict headmaster Mr. Rachin. New teacher Mathieu brightens up the school and assembles a choir, leading to the discovery of Pierre's musical talents and a transformation in the children.
