Flora and Son - Trailer and Plot
John Carney has perfected the niche of creating some amazing musical films and his upcoming work seems no different as per the trailer. The film is also written by Carney with the music provided by acclaimed Scottish musician Gary Clark along with Carney himself.
Eve Hewson portrays Flora, a single mother at a loss for what to do with her disobedient teenage son Max (played by newcomer Orén Kinlan), in a reported breakout performance. Flora tries to engage Max with a battered acoustic guitar after the police encourage her to find Max a hobby. Additionally, Flora and Max learn about the transformational power of music from a failed LA musician (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who also serves as Flora's music instructor.
The official synopsis for the film reads:
"Single mom Flora is at a loss about what to do with her rebellious teenage son, Max. Encouraged by the police to find Max a hobby, Flora tries to occupy him with a beat-up acoustic guitar. With the help of a washed-up LA musician , Flora and Max discover the transformative power of music. From the musical mind of John Carney, 'Flora and Son' explores the bond between a mother and son on a journey toward a new harmony."
