Mild-mannered, unemployed music teacher Clement Mathieu (Gerard Jugnot) is hired as a house master at the Fond de l'Etang boarding school for troubled children.
From the moment Clement walks through the school gates, he can sense trouble, much of it perpetrated by the repressive headmaster Rachin (Francois Berleand), who believes that physical punishment is the only way to keep the boys in line.
Clement prefers a much more caring approach to schooling and he introduces his pint-sized pupils to the magic of singing.
