Sustained avidly by his mommy as well as even more reluctantly initially by his papa, a working-class Austrian boy joins the Vienna Choirboys, where he confirms to be unusually talented. The conventional initiation ordeals which brand-new boys must endure through their senior citizens are escalated in his situation because he has excited the jealousy of Peter, the head chorister, by singing a solo which Peter had actually long sung himself. The fact is that Peter's voice is breaking, and also with a busted voice typically comes a broken heart. Yet, urged by the supervisor and all the children, Peter begins to develop in a brand-new function as author and also conductor.
