August Rush is a 2007 Academy Award-nominated drama directed by Kirsten Sheridan.
About a boy named Evan Taylor (Freddie Highmore) lives in an orphanage, all the while believing that his parents are alive. He believes the music that he hears all around him is his parents communicating with him. Evan meets a counselor, Richard Jeffries (Terrence Howard), of the New York Child Services Department. Evan tells him he does not want to be adopted because he believes his parents are still alive.
Through a series of flashbacks, his parents are revealed to be a famous concert cellist named Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell), and Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an Irish guitarist and lead singer of a rock band, who spend one romantic night together and never see each other again. While Evan has believed his parents have wanted him all along, his mother only lately comes to find out that her son is alive and sets out to New York to find him. His father has never forgotten Lyla and doesn't know about Evan.
Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger, August uses his remarkable musical talents to seek his biological parents.

I watched this movie two times. Freddie Highmore is a talented young artist. In this movie, he acted as an orphange who has a remarkable music talent. I'd really liked the music/soundtrack...
If you watch "Mr Holland Opus"...you gonna love this one too.
