Starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, The History of Sound is a sweeping, moving and tender gay romance that spans decades and continents. In 1917, Lionel (Mescal), a young, talented music student, meets David (O'Connor) at the Boston Conservatory, where a connection over a deep passion for folk music and history leads to a fleeting love affair. They reconnect years later, leading to an impromptu journey through the backwoods of Maine to collect traditional folk songs. This unexpected reunion and the music they preserve will shape the course of Lionel's life for decades to come. From acclaimed director Oliver Hermanus, The History of Sound is a beautiful and compelling cinematic experience that tells the story of a love that can't last, a life forever altered and the ways in which music creates bonds between us that echo for a lifetime.
