1 song in the Soundtracks, but plenty more in the film. I don't know what the genre is called, but it's modern folk music to me.
Musician wannabe gets hit by a taxi while jaywalking, sustaining serious injuries, now in a coma. Mom MS calls sister AH to come home from her fieldwork for PhD thesis. Last interaction AH had with brother was many months earlier: she was angry he had dropped out of college.
AH finds a lot of JFs music in brother's possession, plus a song of his own. She goes to where JF is performing and gives him the brother's song, explains the situation. He shows up at bro's hospital room, and AH/JF begin relationship.
AH spends lots of time at bro's bedside, bringing sounds and smells to try rousing him. Eventually he does recover. I think AH & JF are still a couple at the end of the film.
My summary sounds better than the film is. Avoid.
Rated 5.8 (8,464)
