Synopsis
Zsófi is excited to join the choir at her new school, but Miss Erika, the choirmistress, decides Zsófi’s voice is not good enough for the award-winning ensemble – and unfairly instructs her to mime the words rather than singing with the others. Hurt and ashamed, Zsófi plays along for a while, but when her new friend Liza finds out what’s up, the girls hatch a plot. ‘Sing’ is a testament to the power and the spirit of youth.
