Idris Elba is a talented cellist whose career was held back due to raising his younger brother alone.
Tom Hiddleston is a jaded Arts & Entertainment columnist who hates the Christmas concert season (thanks to the one horrid Christmas violin recital he gave during his university days – the recital that made him vow never to play in public again).
Idris has such talent and feeling and magic in his performance, though, and Tom finds himself feeling something again. After requesting an interview, he discovers that it isn’t just the music that has captivated him; it’s the gorgeous, brilliant man behind it, too.

Tom writes a song just for Idris and plays it on the violin at their wedding.
They live happily ever after.
