A parking garage in Montreal has the acoustics of a cathedral and the hours of a loading dock. Rosa Nguyen follows a choir of night-shift workers from a first awkward warm-up to a performance that stops traffic on the ramp.

The film is less about a concert than about finding a note after a shift. Songs are in the languages people already use at work. Nobody is asked to explain why they joined.
