Ireland
As famous for its Oscar winning and Grammy nominated song, Falling Slowly, the movie strings together the romantic entanglement between the two main characters, one a hoover-fixing, biker-riding singer songwriter, the other an Eastern European economic migrant struggling to make it as a single mother unsure of her next steps.
A gritty multi cultural, multi racial Dublin provides the backdrop for a boy meets girl tale between amiable easy going Glen Hansard, a well known Dublin troubadour and newcomer piano-playing Marketa Irglova.
Filmed across Dublin from the airport, Grafton Street, St Stephen's Green and Killiney, stay at one of the nearby luxury hotels including Four Seasons Hotel, The Merrion and The Burlington.
