Andrei Filipov, a once-celebrated conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra who was fired during the Soviet era, now works as a janitor. He intercepts an invitation for the orchestra to play in Paris and seizes the chance to reunite his old musicians. They concoct a scheme to pose as the current Bolshoi to perform the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, a piece that holds deep personal significance for Andrei.
