A French comedy about Andrei (Alexeï Guskov), a cleaning man at the Bolshoi orchestra in Moscow. Thirty years ago he was the renowned conductor of the Bolshoi, but was fired for hiring Jewish musicians.
When Andrei intercepts a fax from the Châtelet Theater in Paris inviting the Bolshoi orchestra to play, he concocts a devious plan to return to glory. He bands together a bunch of out-of-work musicians to perform in Paris in their place.
