Journey into Life
Come with us as we explore stories from far-flung nations and meet some exceptional characters.
When young Zsófi is told by Miss Erika, the choirmistress at her school, she is not good enough to sing along with the choir, Zsófi and her new friend Liza hatch a plan to expose this unfair treatment.
Zsófi is excited to join the choir at her new school, but Miss Erika, the choirmistress, decides Zsófi’s voice is not good enough for the award-winning ensemble – and unfairly instructs her to mime the words rather than singing with the others. Hurt and ashamed, Zsófi plays along for a while, but when her new friend Liza finds out what’s up, the girls hatch a plot. ‘Sing’ is a testament to the power and the spirit of youth.
