Coro — Los Chicos Del

Los Chicos del Coro (originally Les Choristes ) is a 2004 French musical drama directed by Christophe Barratier. Set in 1949, it tells the story of Clément Mathieu, an unemployed music teacher who becomes a supervisor at "Fond de l'Étang," a boarding school for "difficult" boys.

Mathieu forms a choir to channel the boys' energy and bridge the gap between their bottled-up emotions and the outside world. Music becomes a tool for discipline, but a discipline born of passion rather than fear. Through singing, the boys—particularly the gifted but troubled Pierre Morhange—find a sense of belonging and a voice they didn't know they had. Cultural Impact Los Chicos del Coro
