A stunning naturalistic musical, the film chronicles the relationship that develops between a struggling Dublin street busker\/vacuum cleaner repairman (Glen Hansard) and a poor Czech immigrant\/single mother (Mark\u00e9ta Irglov\u00e1). Drawn together by their shared love of music, they begin writing and recording songs together\u2500impacting each others&#8217; lives in profound ways in the process. Early on in the film comes a scene that foreshadows the love the nameless characters would experience (both on screen and in real-life, as Hansard and Irglov\u00e1 dated for a while after the movie&#8217;s success). &#8220;Falling Slowly&#8221; is a powerful song that became so beloved by audiences that it won the Best Original Song Oscar at the 2007 Academy Awards:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qx8yLvb0gZM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/iframe><\/center>After the movie became an art house hit, <em>Once<\/em> was reborn as a successful Broadway musical, and while the show may have closed on the Great White Way, it still is impacting audiences across the globe in regional productions.
