The setting is Spring 1936 ; a working-class district in the north of Paris. This neighborhood probably had a name once but now everyone simply calls it The Faubourg. In early May, three residents of the Faubourg - 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 take hold of their destiny by producing the hit musical the Chansonia has always needed. With the help of the town, and the arrival of a mysterious and beautiful young actress named DUCE, PIGOIL, MILOU, and JACKY bring the magic of the stage back to the Chansonia.
