Brighton, September 2025. Mara Ellison runs Echoes, a tiny record shop haunted by memory and rain. For her, The Cure’s “Pictures of You” is more than a song, it’s a lifeline back to her late mother, and the scars she hides behind shelves of vinyl.
Leo Alvarez is a DJ chasing shadows, still grieving the brother he lost and the call he ignored. For him, only the deep cuts matter: The Cure's introversion, Joy Division’s despair, Siouxsie’s gothic edge - songs that echo what he can’t say out loud.
Thrown together for the Venice Biennale’s pop-up art festival, their clash of obsessions, her hits, his purism, sparks more than rivalry. Between dance nights and whispered confessions, stolen notes and viral tributes, Mara and Leo discover that music doesn’t just hold the past. It mends it.
But as trolls, rivals, and their own fears circle, they must decide if love, like vinyl, can endure scratches, skips, and storms… and still play something true.
Vinyl Vows: Pictures of You is a love story about survival, scars, and the soundtrack that saves us. A lyrical, defiant, and hopeful romance for anyone who ever found themselves in a song.
