"Set in early 20th century America, the film follows the duo from their initial meeting at Boston music conservatory, where David is playing on the piano. They embark on a hidden whirlwind romance, before David is courted off to serve for the US armed forces in the first World War. Upon their reunion, they travel across rural America, collecting folk songs from townspeople in cylinders, and deepening their connection."
"Speaking to PinkNews on the red carpet ahead of the film playing at the 69th BFI London Film Festival, Mescal said he found it "very easy" to have chemistry with O'Connor as he "loves" his co-star. "He's a very easy person to have chemistry with. I adore spending time with him. I love him as a person," he said. "I love the way he thinks about art and the consideration that goes into his work. That wasn't the challenge of this film.""
""He's a joy and a great friend already," the Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery star told PinkNews. "An actor as good as Paul, you just really have to listen and respond in the moment and it comes about.""
