Plot
In the mining community of Decazeville, Johanna and Jeanne, who share a close friendship, establish a band named The Sirens. Johanna's new friend Luc recognizes their singing abilities and helps them record a demo with the assistance of the arranger Jasper. When Luc departs for Paris to present the demo to music labels, Johanna decides to participate solo in a music competition since only individual performers are permitted.
During her live television performance, Jasper secretly swaps Johanna’s microphone with a playback of Jeanne’s voice. This ruse results in immediate acclaim, with only a select few within their circle aware of the true circumstances.
