For four gorgeous young women from a remote aboriginal mission, 1968 was the year that changed their lives forever. Sisters gail, julie and cynthia, together with their cousin kay, are discovered by dave, a down-on-his-luck irish musician with attitude, a taste for irish whiskey and an ear for soul music. Dave steers the girls away from their country & western origins then flies them to the war-zones of south vietnam, where they sing soul classics for the american marines. On tour in the mekong delta, the girls sing up a storm, dodge bullets and fall in love. Inspired by a true story, the sapphires is a triumphant celebration of youth, courage, love, family and soul music. // australie, 1968, trois soeurs aborigines : gail, julie et cynthia et leur cousine kay, sont découvertes par dave, musicien irlandais au caractère bien trempé, amateur de whisky et de soul music.
