A modern day musical set on the streets of Dublin. Featuring Glen Hansard and his Irish band The Frames, the film tells the story of a street musician and a Czech immigrant during an eventful week as they write, rehearse and record songs that reveal their unique love story.
Once is the inspirational tale of two kindred spirits who find each other on the bustling streets of Dublin. One is a street musician who lacks the confidence to perform his own songs. The other is a young mother trying to find her way in a strange new town. As their lives intertwine, they discover each other's talents and push one another to realize what each had only dreamt about before. Once is their inspiring story.
In this film featuring a cast comprised almost entirely of professional musicians, a Dublin-based busker enters into a fruitful relationship (musical and otherwise) with a piano-playing florist.
