Directed by Gregory Magne (Perfumes), The Musicians took the number one spot in France on its release in May. The film stars Valérie Donzelli as Astrid, a classical music lover who attempts to fulfil her late father's wish of bringing four Stradivarius instruments together for a concert. Astrid's hopes are dashed when the egos of the four musicians (played by real life musicians Daniel Garlitsky, Emma Ravier, Mathieu Spinosi and Marie Vialle) clash, forcing her to turn to composer Charlie Beaumont (Frédéric Pierrot) to save the day.
The Musicians is in US cinemas from August 8th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

The official synopsis reads:
A charming, music-centered comedy set in a glorious villa in the French countryside, THE MUSICIANS centers on Astrid, a wealthy woman played by Valérie Donzelli, who finally succeeds in fulfilling her father's dream of bringing together four Stradivarius instruments for a unique concert. As a devout music lover who eagerly awaits the performance she soon realizes that the egos of the four virtuosos recruited for the occasion makes them unable to find harmony together. When rehearsal after rehearsal leads to one crisis after another and no solution in sight, Astrid decides to seek out the only person who, in her eyes, can still save the event: the composer of the score, Charlie Beaumont, played by Frédéric Pierrot.
