What happens

À nous la liberté (French pronunciation: [a nu la libɛʁte]), sometimes written as À nous la liberté!, (English: Freedom Forever or Freedom for Us) is a 1931 French musical film directed by René Clair. With a score by Georges Auric, it has more music than any of Clair's other early works. Praised for its use of sound and Academy Award-nominated scenic design, the film has been called Clair's "crowning achievement". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
