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...?
