Zsofi is an elementary school-aged girl and she's excited to be going to a new school after she discovers they have one of the best children's choirs in the country. She also soon makes a friend and everything looks just fine. However, after going to the choir, the teacher in charge meets with her privately and tells her something shocking….her voice isn't any good and she may remain in the choir if she agrees to only mime instead of actually singing! Naturally, the child is heartbroken…and she does have a lovely voice. There is just something wrong with this teacher, with her win at all costs attitude, and the choir is about to compete in a very prestigious contest.

The acting was excellent in this film, as it's difficult to get good and believable performances out of children. However, the Hungarian actors all do a terrific job and the film works very well. It's an exceptional little drama spiced up with a bit of a comedy. This was probably my favorite of the films to watch and the easiest one to like….and it has some interesting messages that give it added depth.
