Nos virtuoses : pratiques culturelles amateurs

For over 35 millions French, when they have time off, they change identities... They become singers, actors, dancers, painters, writers. No longer satisfied with the role of simple observer of culture, they want to participate, and play the role of creator. Exercising an amateur cultural activity is another manner of existing and it puts participants into a milieu where social classes and age groups are mixed. Civil servants and private sector employees, teachers and secretaries, blue-collar workers and white-collar executives, young and not so young... What are these people’s motivations? How do they live their passion? What are their difficulties, their doubts, their hopes? A film about people who are pursuing an amateur cultural passion: a choral group, a brass band, a theatre group.
