Set against the backdrop of a world transformed by conflict, this deeply moving drama from director Oliver Hermanus follows two young men whose lives become inextricably intertwined through a shared passion for music. Josh O'Connor stars as Lionel, a quiet and observant young man from a small New England town, who meets the charismatic and restless David, played by Paul Mescal, in the summer of 1914. United by their love for folk songs, they embark on an ambitious journey to travel across America, recording the authentic voices and forgotten tunes of its people before they are lost to time. As they traverse the vast and changing landscape, their profound artistic collaboration deepens into an intimate and unspoken bond, tested by the looming shadow of the Great War and the constraints of a society not ready for their truth. Chris Cooper and Molly Price lend powerful support in this lyrical and heartbreaking exploration of love, memory, and the ephemeral nature of sound itself, crafting a poignant meditation on the lives we choose to live and the stories we leave behind.
