Discontented middle-aged doctor Alain Massoulier has received a life-changing letter—thirty-three years too late. Lost in the Paris postal system for decades, it offers a recording contract to Alain's old band The Holograms, which split up long ago.

Now, overcome by nostalgia, Alain decides to track down his old bandmates—including the alluring singer he secretly loved. But in a world where everything and everyone has changed, where will his quest take him?

French Rhapsody by Antoine Laurain explores themes of lost dreams and the passage of time, offering an engaging story of rediscovery and the power of music.
