Synopsis

Hyun-bo and Hye-ri, members of the ethnic fusion band 2nd Moon, traveled to Ireland in 2006 to visit the homeland of Lynda Cullin, their album's guest singer. Their initial casual trip sparked a deep interest in Irish culture and music. By August 2007, they formed a five-member band called Bard and performed at the World Fleadh in Portlaoise. The documentary examines how music in Ireland intertwines with daily life and reflects the country’s complex history.
