Synopsis: Thibaut is an internationally renowned conductor who travels the world. When he learns that he has been adopted, he discovers that he has a brother, Jimmy, who works in a school canteen and plays trombone in a brass band in northern France. On the surface, everything separates them, except their love of music. Sensing his brother's exceptional musical abilities, Thibaut sets out on a mission to remedy the injustice of fate. Jimmy then begins to dream of another life...
The story is that of Thibaut, a renowned orchestra conductor. Stricken with leukemia, he sets out to find a compatible donor for a bone marrow transplant. Learning that he is an adopted child, he discovers the existence of an older brother in the North of France. The latter, a modest employee, is also a trombonist in a municipal brass band that is in the process of disbanding. Against the backdrop of the closure of the town's only factory, their meeting marks the beginning of a fraternal, social and musical adventure...
En Fanfare will feature Benjamin Lavernhe(L'Abbé Pierre - Une vie de combats), Pierre Lottin(La Nuit du 12) and Sarah Suco.
This is the second time thatEmmanuel Courcol has walked the red carpet as a director, following the presentation at Cannes 2020 of his film Un Triomphe, starring Kad Merad.
