As World War I rages on, Dr. Henry Guthrie takes over a British choral society that’s lost most of its men to the army. The community soon discovers that the best response to the chaos of war is to make beautiful music together.
Ramsden, Yorkshire, het jaar 1916. De meeste mannen van het ambitieuze plaatselijke koor, inclusief de leider, hebben zich vrijwillig aangemeld voor het front. Onder leiding van de veeleisende, gedreven dr. Guthrie werft het koor een groep tienerjongens en -meisjes. Samen ontdekken ze het plezier van zingen en de urgentie van verlangen, terwijl de nieuwe jongens zich neerleggen bij hun aanstaande dienstplicht.
Dans le Yorkshire ravagé par la guerre en 1916, la chorale locale est menacée de disparition lorsque presque tous les hommes sont partis au front. Le comité de la Choral Society, déterminé à poursuivre ses activités, est contraint de recruter ses chanteurs parmi les garçons du village — des adolescents eux-mêmes sur le point d’être appelés au service militaire.
