Rockies Film Festival and Series’ next presentation is The Marching Band on Tuesday, October 21 at Key City Theatre at 7 p.m.

Thibaut is a world-renowned conductor who travels the globe. Being diagnosed with leukemia, he finds that he needs a bone marrow transplant and learns that he was adopted.

He then discovers the existence of a brother, Jimmy, a factory worker who plays the trombone in a brass band and seeks him out. On the surface, everything seems to separate them, except for their love of music.

Detecting his brother’s exceptional musical talent, Thibaut takes it upon himself to rectify the injustice of fate.

The story provides a look into contrasting musical cultures, and how they may be both different and yet the same.

 A heartfelt but not overly sentimental tale, this film underscores the power of music and of family.

The film is in French with English subtitles; Rotten Tomatoes 95%.
