Starring Paul Mescal (Gladiator II) and Josh O’Connor (Hope Gap) , The History of Sound is a sweeping, moving and tender period 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 love of music 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.

Sumptuously realised by director Oliver Hermanus (Living) and based on a short story by Ben Shattuck, this is a beautiful and compelling cinematic experience that invites audiences to reflect on the power of music and love.
