Synopsis

1917 sees two young students at the Boston Conservatory drawn together by a shared passion for folk music, their friendship deepening amid lessons and late-night harmonies. Years on, after separate paths, they reunite and travel into Maine’s remote coastal backwaters to collect, preserve, and breathe new life into the region’s fading songs.
