A young rapper and sushi courier discovers operatic singing while caught between the suburbs and the world of classical music.
The story
Antoine, a young man from the Paris suburbs, studies accounting without much conviction, raps, and delivers sushi. During a delivery to the Palais Garnier, he crosses paths with Madame Loyseau, a singing teacher. She detects in him a raw talent and introduces him to operatic singing. Persuaded to study with her, Antoine lives between two worlds: the suburbs and rap, which will soon reject him, and Paris and classical music, which will not accept him. He begins learning this new form of expression while facing the challenge of belonging to neither world.
