Synopsis

When Johan Niemand gets called up for military service at the age of 18 in South Africa in 1986, he auditioned and was accepted to the SADF Choir called the "Canaries". Against a landscape where law and religion oppress individuality, Johan and the Canaries had to survive military training and went on a nationwide tour. On the tour, Johan fell in love with a fellow choir mate Wolfgang. As Johan started questioning his religion, patriotism, and sexuality, his emerging creativity and passion for music leads to direct conflict with his commanding officers.

"This surprisingly fun musical examines the effects of nationalism on a tender soul, and the bond of brotherhood among misfits."-Jude Dry, IndieWire
