One over-protective father would be enough; imagine having an army of them! Sparks fly when Marie, an orphan raised by French soldiers, meets Tonio from across enemy lines. Her “dads” won’t stand for this—and neither will the mysterious, aristocratic relative who whisks her away, determined to turn her into a lady and marry her off to a proper man.

Described as “the perfect male lead” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), Jack Swanson plays Tonio—don’t miss his jaw-dropping vocal acrobatics after he first meets Marie, depicted by rising-star soprano Madison Leonard.

And, of course, find out who will win on the battlefield of love, in this spunky and family-friendly comedy!

Sung in French with English dialogue and English supertitles.
