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.
Predictable rom-com ups and downs ensue, culminating in a public proposal at the end of and important benefit concert.
Tom writes a song just for Idris and plays it on the violin at their wedding.
They live happily ever after.
HeartStrings – Coming to theaters this December
Can I humbly suggest we add Aldis Hodge to the cast as Idris Elba’s friend from music school who made it pro:
jean valjean had taken no part in the fighting except to expose himself to it. had it not been for him, no one in that last phase of that desperate struggle would have thought of the wounded. thanks to him, like an angel of m e r c y everywhere present among the carnage, those who fell were picked up, carried to the bar room, and their wounds dressed. in between, he repaired the barricade. but nothing that could be seen as an act of hostility or aggression, or even as self-defence, proceeded from his hands.
