It’s 1988. Frank runs the kind of record shop you wish you could find: small, jam-packed, unconventional, attracting the lonely, the sleepless, the adrift…He has a gift for finding his customers the music they need. Then into his shop walks Ilse Brauchmann. Franks falls for this ordinary woman, dressed in green and with no ear for music. But Ilse is not what she seems. And Frank has his own secrets; his past is in danger of catching up with him. Meanwhile small shops are closing one by one. CD sales are soaring. In a last ditch attempt to save vinyl, Frank makes the biggest gamble of his life.Twenty years later, Ilse returns. The shop has gone. Frank has gone. If she wants to save him, she too must confront old, invisible wounds. The Music Shop is a love story with a musical backdrop. It’s about what happens when small, good people take on forces too big for them. It’s about healing, community, vinyl and what it means to accept love – the only thing it really isn’t about is CDs.
