In rural Australia, a bunch of misfits are finding their perfect harmony.

In the quiet heart of the Australian countryside, five women form a breakaway choir in the old CFA hall and find far more than music. As rehearsals stir up old wounds and new bonds, grief and humour intertwine, especially after the loss of a beloved member. With the arrival of Peter, the awkward but sincere local policeman, hidden truths surface and hearts begin to mend. A tender, funny, and uplifting story about community, courage, and the songs that carry us through.

Effervescent and big-hearted, this life-affirming comedy is sure to raise the roof.
