It’s 1916 and, in a small Yorkshire village, the majority of the town’s menfolk have enlisted to fight overseas in the Great War.
Life in the town continues as normally as possible, but for the local choir master, Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes), the number of male singers still living in the village has dwindled considerably.
More concerning still is that an end of year performance from the choir has been promised to the town.
With no other options and time running out, Henry recruits a group of untrained and variously talented teenagers to make up the numbers.
Though an exacting taskmaster, Henry is determined to find a way to get the best from his raw students and give the town a performance that brings joy to all in a time of war.
