French drama set in spring 1936, in a working-class district north of Paris. In the center of town is a small square, a few shops, lopsided buildings, cobbled streets and the peeling façade of the neighborhood music hall: the Chansonia. In this blue-collar neighborhood, the triumphant election of the Popular Front government is greeted with enthusiasm and hopes for a brighter tomorrow, yet stirs up all kinds of extremism.
Among the new government's promises is a law guaranteeing paid holidays for workers. Three residents – Pigoil, Milou, and Jacky – still sulk over the closing of the Chansonia four months ago. Supported by the locals who live to the rhythm of Monsieur TSF's radio, the three friends decide to use their holiday by producing the 'hit' musical the Chansonia has always needed.
