Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert? ---------- Première incursion de Dustin Hoffman à la réalisation, «Le Quatuor» est une comédie mettant en vedette Maggie Smith (La franchise «Harry Potter», «Gnomeo et Juliette»), Billy Connolly («Les Voyages de Gulliver», «Le Dernier Samouraï»), Tom Courtenay («À la croisée des mondes: La boussole d'or»), et Pauline Collins («Albert Nobbs»), dans les rôles de quatre chanteurs d'opéra à la retraite, ainsi que Michael Gambon, en chef d'orchestre (La franchise «Harry Potter», «Le Discours du Roi»). «Le Quatuor» raconte l;histoire de Reggie (Courtenay), Wilf (Connolly) et Cissy (Collins) qui habitent la Maison Beecham, une résidence pour les musiciens retraités. Tous les ans, les résidents montent un spectacle pour célébrer l'anniversaire de Verdi, en plus de recuillir des fonds pour maintenir leur éstablissement. L'ex-femme de Reggie, Jean (Smith), arrive à la Maison Beecham et crée toute une commotion, jouant la diva, mais refusant de prendre part au concert. «Le Quatuor» est un scénario de Sir Ronald Harwood.
