The History of Sound chronicles a decades-spanning romance centred around the power of music, starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor.

In 1917, Lionel (Mescal), a young, talented music student, meets David (O'Connor) at Boston Conservatory, where they bond over a deep love of folk music. Years later, Lionel receives a letter from David, leading to an impromptu journey through the backwoods of Maine to collect traditional songs. This unexpected reunion, ensuing love affair, and the music they collect and preserve, will shape the course of Lionel's life far beyond his own awareness.

Gorgeously made and finely performed, this is a tender, aching chronicle of a love whose echoes are felt for a lifetime.
