In the French countryside in 1949, musician Clément (played by Gérard Jugnot) arrives at a boys' boarding school nicknamed "Fond de l'Étang" as an assistant teacher. Most of the students at the school are troubled children, and corporal punishment is common. The school's headmaster (played by François Berléand) is solely focused on his own future, enforcing a brutal and oppressive regime. Clément, a calm character, tries to improve the situation in his own way. He reinterprets musical works, organizes a choir, and decides to use music to reach the closed-off hearts of the students. However, things do not go smoothly. Clément discovers that student Pierre Morhange (played by Jean-Baptiste Maunier) possesses extraordinary musical talent, but having grown up in a single-parent home, he is exceptionally sensitive and withdrawn. Figuring out how to unlock Pierre's musical potential becomes a headache for Clément; at the same time, his feelings for Pierre's mother gradually become more complicated.
