August Rush

Evan Taylor grows up in a home for boys. He believes his parents are still alive and that he will find them someday through his music. He can hear music in everything. Through flashbacks it shows how his parents met at a party and had a one night stand. His father, Louis, is a guitarist and lead singer of a rock band, and his mother, Lyla, is a famous concert cellist. Due to Lyla's father the couple were not allowed to ever speak again. Lyla falls pregnant and her father tells her that the baby died at birth when really he put it up to adoption.

Evan who runs away from the home meets many musicians along the way and eventually gets recognized as a child musical prodigy. I will not ruin the plot but all I can say is that this film reveals the most amazing story of love. If you like a good cry this film's final scene is one of the most moving endings I have ever seen. A truly remarkable story, with incredible emotion and brilliant music.
