SYNOPSIS:
When Brooklyn record store owner Rob finds himself
unexpectedly dumped, his life takes a music-filled turn
toward the introspective. Based on the popular novel by
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity follows Rob as he struggles to
discover how his relationship went awry, and strives to
change his life in order to win back his sweetheart Laura.
With memorable characters and a rock-and-roll score,
this homage to music geek culture explores love,
heartbreak, and the power of the perfect soundtrack.
