"Twenty-five years after losing his position as the conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra for his refusal to fire the Jewish musicians, a once-famous musical director attempts to stage a late-career comeback. Andreï Semoinovitch Filipov (Aleksei Guskov) was at the top of his game when the Soviet regime ended his career. More than two decades later, he's working as a janitor in the same theater where he once conducted. In his spare time, Andreï and his wife stage mock communist demonstrations to entertain the locals. When Andreï happens across an invitation to Paris' famed Théâtre du Châtelet, he contacts his old orchestra friends in hopes of staging a performance that will bring the crowd to their feet for a standing ovation. ~ by Jason Buchanan"--AllMovieguide.com.

"A l'époque de Brejnev, Andrei Filipov était le plus grand chef d'orchestre d'Union soviétique et dirigeait le célèbre Orchestre du Bolchoï. Mais après avoir refusé de se séparer de ses musiciens juifs, dont son meilleur ami Sacha, il a été licencié en pleine gloire. Trente ans plus tard, il travaille toujours au Bolchoï mais...comme homme de ménage. Un soir, alors qu'Andrei est resté très tard pour astiquer le bureau du maître des lieux, il tombe sur un fax adressé au directeur : il s'agit d'une invitation du Théâtre du Châtelet conviant l'orchestre du Bolchoï à venir jouer à Paris...Soudain, Andrei a une idée de folie : pourquoi ne pas réunir ses anciens copains musiciens, qui vivent aujourd'hui de petits boulots, et les emmener à Paris, en les faisant passer pour le Bolchoï ? L'occasion tant attendue de prendre enfin leur revanche..."--Conteneur.
