In 1985 South Africa, 18-year-old Johan Niemand dreams of escaping his tumultuous life through music. Despite facing bullying and discrimination for his love of British new wave and Boy George, he auditions for the prestigious SADF Choir, known as the "Canaries." As he embarks on a nationwide tour with the group, he must confront his long-repressed sexual identity and find his voice in a society that seeks to silence individuality. This feel-good musical comedy celebrates self-discovery and learning to soar.
