Paris 36 (Faubourg 36)

Spring 1936 - in a working-class district in the north of Paris, a neighborhood that probably had a name once but that everyone now simply calls the Faubourg.
In early May, three inhabitants of the Faubourg, show-business workers and close friends, do not share other people's wild hopes, the Chansonia, the music hall that employed them, closed down four months earlier, leaving them all unemployed. Pigoil (Gerard Jugnot), a stage-hand, Milou (Clovis Cornillac), a hotheaded electrician and a skirt-chaser, and Jacky (Kad Merad), former sandwhich man at the Chansonia.
Supported by the locals who live to the rhythm of Monsieur TSF's (Pierre Richard) radio, the three friends decide to take hold of their destiny; they try to force the hand of fate by occupying the Chansonia and producing the "hit" musical that will allow them to buy the place. Each one of them has different motives but they all share the same goal: finding new balance in their lives.
In addition to their lack of experience, they have to deal with the hostile antagonism of the neighborhood "godfather", Galpiat (Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu), and come to terms with the arrival of a mysterious and attractive young singer, Douce (Nora Arnezeder).
The dream of a whole neighborhood, can the Chansonia "rise from its ashes" in this joyous month of June?
