There's loving music and enjoying music, and then there's being able to taste sound and see colors in sound. That is how Paul Mescal's Lionel experiences music. It's more than just music to him, and when he meets Josh O'Connor's David at the Boston Music Conservatory in 1917 after he hears David singing a ballad that he used to sing back on his farm in Kentucky, the two automatically form a bond through music that lasts their lifetime.
