In the shadow of WW1, two young men set out on a passionate journey to record the lives, voices and music of their American countrymen.

In 1917, Lionel – a young, talented music student – meets David at the Boston Conservatory, where they bond over a deep love of folk music. Years later, Lionel receives a letter from David, leading to an impromptu journey through the backwoods of Maine to collect traditional songs. This unexpected reunion, ensuing love affair, and the music they collect and preserve, will shape the course of Lionel’s life far beyond his own awareness.

A sweeping, moving and tender romance from director Oliver Hermanus, starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor. Nominated for the Palme d’Or and Queer Palm at Cannes
