Starring Ralph Fiennes, this heart-soaring period drama from director Nicholas Hytner and Alan Bennett tells the story of young men raising their voices in song under the shadow of WWI.
A Yorkshire village’s choral society finds its ranks depleted as men head off to war. With the annual performance looming, the society is forced to change its entry rules to enlist some unlikely teens and the musically gifted but socially scandalous Dr. Guthrie. Brimming with humour and hope, Bennett and Nicholas Hytner’s (The Madness of King George, The Lady in the Van) latest triumph celebrates the power of community in the darkest of days.
