After her voice is discovered in music class, she must decide whether to appear for the competitive audition for a choir in Paris, or stay home to help her family. Katie Madigan, Ph.D., Rockhurst University professor French, Department of Modern Languages, will introduce the film and facilitate a discussion following the screening.
