Storyline
Two best friends, Johanna and Jeanne, live in the small town of Decazeville, a mining town in France. One year at the Miners' Ball, the music group The Sirens perform, of which Johanna and Jeanne are members. In a spontaneous moment, a new friend of Johanna's (named Luc) discovers Johanna and Jeanne's incredible musical talent and singing ability when they sing a duet together without musical accompaniment. The two girls begin practicing and recording in a studio together with the help of Luc and an arranger, Jasper, and finally manage to record a tape with a few songs.

She appears on live TV and is an instant hit, but with only one problem: as she begins to perform before the cameras, Jasper cuts out her mike and ... Written by Heidi S.

I wasn't expecting a lot before watching the movie but I was really amazed to see a well-directed film with a solid plot and great actors. Even if some moments look like a Music-video of MTV, Virginie Ledoyen does her job as good as the unknown Maidi Roth. The French cinema shows one more time that it is able to produce more than only boring movies you only watch in order to have seen them. This movie is the beginning of a new French cinema which has burst with "Taxi" and "Taxi 2" directed by Gerard Krawczik, too. I really wonder why it hasn't had as much success as "Taxi".
