The history of sound [videorecording] / directed by Oliver Hermanus.

Summary:

"The History of Sound is a sweeping, moving and tender romance that spans decades and continents. In 1917, Lionel--a young talented music student--meets David 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"--Container.
