 Twelve years ago, on a moonlit rooftop above Washington Square, Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell), a sheltered young cellist, and Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), a charismatic Irish singer-songwriter, were drawn together by a street musician’s rendition of “Moondance” and fell instantly in love. Sharing the language of music, their connection was real and undeniable…but short-lived.
After the most romantic night of her life, Lyla promised to meet Louis again but, despite her protests, her father (William Sadler) rushed her to her next concert—leaving Louis to believe that she didn’t care. Disheartened, he found it impossible to continue playing and abandoned his music while Lyla, her own hopes for love lost, was led to believe months later that she had also lost their unborn child in a car accident. Years passed with neither of them knowing the truth.
Now, the infant secretly given away by Lyla’s father has grown into a spirited and unusually gifted child (Freddie Highmore) who hears music all around him in the rhythms of life and can turn the rustling of wind through a wheat field into a beautiful symphony with himself at its center, the composer and conductor. Orphaned by circumstance, he holds a profound and unwavering belief that his parents are alive and want him as much as he wants them—if only they could find each other.
