Synopsis
This atmospheric film follows two music students, a singer and an academic musicologist, in the shadows of WWI, who record the lives, voices and music of their American countrymen.
In the summer of 1920 they hike around the backwoods of rural Maine, recording the authentic folk songs of local people on wax cylinders, sleeping under the stars and falling in love.
Beautiful singing. Cannes Film Festival (2025): Official Selection premiere
