A Toronto mother is raising her exceptionally beautiful daughter on her own, oblivious to the fact that her child is being stalked by Ron, an appliance repairman who has convinced himself that the nine-year-old girl is being mistreated and needs a hero.

Glen Hansard

Director John Carney made this film in three weeks with a hand-held camera and $150K. It's a raw love story so real you'll feel as if you're spying. This little film won at Sundance, Berlin, Moscow, the LA indies, and more. I believe it was the Chicago Tribune that called it "The most important music film of our generation."
