Synopsis
At the time of Brezhnev, Andrei Filipov was the most celebrated conductor in the USSR.  But when he refused to part company with his Jewish musicians, he was dismissed without ceremony.  Thirty years on, Andrei is once again employed by the Bolshoi Orchestra, but as a cleaner.  One evening, whilst busily engaged in his chores, he comes across a fax addressed to his employer.  It is an invitation to the orchestra to perform at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris.  Andrei suddenly has an idea.  Why not round up his old friends, all former musicians who are now employed in menial jobs, and pass themselves off as the Bolshoi Orchestra...?
