What happens
A Cage of Nightingales (French: La Cage aux rossignols) is a 1945 French film directed by Jean Dréville. It was the second most popular movie at the French box office that year and gained a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Story. Its plot is directly inspired by that of an actual educational centre, called Ker Goat, where Jacques Dietz, Roger Riffier and their teams worked to help children in difficulty through choral singing and innovative teaching methods. The film later served as an inspiration for the film The Chorus (2004), starring the French actor Gérard Jugnot and directed by Christophe Barratier. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
