Once the plot brief……
This is an Irish film started by music. A flower girl (Marketa Irglova) is drawn to the music of a busker (Glen Hansard) and begins a whirlwind romance. They are not princes and princesses, and each has a trivial life, but they have one thing in common, that is the love of music. In an ensemble, they found an amazing understanding with each other. Excited by this discovery, they soon found another partner, formed a band, and won professional recognition for their excellent performance. At the same time, love is also budding. The music is one of the biggest highlights of the film, creating an extremely romantic and beautiful atmosphere.
