A vacuum repairman moonlights as a street musician and hopes for his big break. One day a Czech immigrant, who earns a living selling flowers, approaches him with the news that she is also an aspiring singer-songwriter. The pair decide to collaborate, and the songs that they compose reflect the story of their blossoming love.

This left me completely heartbroken, such an inspiring friendship, and with a soundtrack this great and melancholic... Definitely a modern classic of musical dramas.
