Sixteen-year old misfit Hannah lives in the Paris suburbs with her garage-mechanic father, doting mother and two svelte sisters. But she is not happy. She senses she's destined for bigger things. Musically talented, she chooses an instrument with a figure similar to hers - the double bass - and dreams of joining the male-dominated high school jazz band. After she has passed the audition, the other band members, keen to uphold their male traditions, stop at nothing to discourage her. 401 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, 19103. 215-446-3045. $12.
