Love at first sight is often backed by endless bitterness and countless waits ......12 Years ago, on a beautiful, moonlit night somewhere in Washington Square, Laila Novacek, a cellist who had grown up with an overprotective father, hoped to be able to breathe a little bit of sigh of relief from the breathtakingly close Running to the rooftop, she stumbles upon the guitar-carrying, handsome and charismatic Irish singer Louis Connelly. In the haunting melody of "Moon Palace Dance" played by the street singer, Laila and Louis meet and quickly fall in love, music becomes the **** same language they can share, and the emotional bond that occurs between them is real and undeniable, but sadly, short-lived.
After the two of them **** off a night of romance to the point of being obsessed with each other, despite Laila's constant protests, her father insists and even forces her to go ahead with the concert, causing her not to be able to fulfill her promise of going to see Luis. Misunderstandings can easily arise when people in love care too much about each other. Frustrated that the brilliant and well-off Laila doesn't love him as much as he thought she did, Luis loses his courage because of his broken heart, and realizes that he can't afford to continue to write and play the guitar; in the end, he gives up on music and leaves this heartbreaking place. Laila, too, lost the love of her life, and a few months later, a car accident also claimed her unborn baby.
More than 10 years have passed since then, and Laila and Luis, who don't know the truth, have been living in their own remorse and sadness, not realizing that, in fact, Laila's baby didn't die, but was secretly sent away by her father. Now that the little boy named August Rush has 11 years old, not only brave and lively, but also has an extraordinary talent - any sound that happens around him, to his ears, all become beautiful melodies, as long as he stood in the wheat field, and even the breeze swept through the wheat rustle into a grand symphony, it is clear that August is a natural composer and conductor. Though raised as an orphan, August is convinced that both of his parents are still alive and, as he desperately hopes for them, they need him.
Determined to find his parents, August leaves the orphanage and travels to New York City alone, only to become lost on the streets of the city. Attracted by a child playing on the street, August follows him to the abandoned Fillmore East Theater, where he discovers that there are many other homeless children like him in this temporary shelter, protected by a mysterious man known as "The Wizard". That night, August picks up a guitar for the first time, and immediately, without a teacher, he improvises a song for the crowd.
The Wizard was so amazed that a young boy with no musical training could unleash such a passionate melody that he devised a series of performances for August. ...... August didn't think that the Wizard had a problem with this. August didn't think there was anything wrong with what the "wizard" was doing, because he believed that his parents lived somewhere in the city, and if they heard his music, they would surely find him. What August didn't know at the time was that the "search" he was hoping for had already begun.
Leila's father finally told her the truth, and it turned out that the baby she thought had died was still alive. ...... Leila went crazy to find Richard Jeffries, a social worker, and hoped that he would be able to help her find her son, who had been lost for 11 years. And Louis, who has traveled far from home and still can't get over Laila, returns to the place where they first met.
Leila, Louis and August, though they are forced apart by the hopelessness and deception of life, the bond between them, forged through love and music, is never broken, and they will eventually find each other, for only then can their lives be complete.
