Synopsis
Benoit, 11, is part of the symphonic orchestra of young Liulietta. She is demanding, but he gladly lends himself to Sunday rehearsals and continues the violin exercises at home with his sisters playing the cello. Benoit, however, prefers to play with his friend Lorraine, serve mass and have fun in general.
