Synopsis
A Dublin-based busker and vacuum-cleaner repairman enter into a fruitful relationship with a piano playing florist in a toe-tapping "video album" directed by John Carney and featuring a cast comprised entirely of professional musicians. He (Glen Hansard of The Frames) was a six-stringed street musician. She (Marketa Irglova) was a flower woman who can't afford to purchase a piano of her own. One day, after admiring the musician's songs and asking if he would take a look at her broken vacuum, the flower-pushing piano player discovered that she shared a remarkable sonic rapport with the mechanically savvy guitarist. Their musical sensibilities quickly converging to striking effect, the talented pair soon determines to record an album together. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
