Clara and the Why Notes
Music Comedy Drama
In 1981, in Grenoble, Mickey, Bertrand, Frédéric, Charles, Louise, and Aimée—brought together by a shared desire to make music—are the members of a band called the “Why Notes.” During a wedding ceremony in a church where Charles is playing the harmonium for the occasion, Bertrand, who has come to join him, notices the groom interrupting the ceremony and running away. A few hours later, just as the band is about to leave for a concert in Paris at the high school they attended, Bertrand runs into Clara, who suggests they run away together and then disappears... Bertrand, completely captivated by Clara, leaves the band and sets off in search of her... in Paris.
