Synopsis

In 1916, as World War I rages on, the Choral Society in Ramsden begin to recruit local young men - after losing many members to the army - as well as a new chorus master. With reservation, they hire the driven and uncompromising Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) who attempts to bring the community together via music while conscription papers threaten the town’s peace.
