Sing Street

Dublin, 1985. Conor is 15 years old and lives with his parents and two older brothers in a home where arguments are constant. To cope, he writes songs in silence. The economic crisis forces his family to pull him out of the private school where he studies and enroll him at Synge Street, a public school run by the Christian Brothers in the city center, where the atmosphere is much tenser. There, Conor has to learn how to survive. Soon he meets Raphina, a mysterious girl who gives him a glimmer of hope. To win her over, he proposes that she star in the music videos of a band that doesn't exist yet. Directed by John Carney, the film features Lucy Boynton, Jack Reynor and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo in its cast.
