The film, which stars Eve Hewson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jack Reynor and newcomer Orén Kinlan - the son of Love/Hate actor Laurence Kinlan - received a standing ovation at its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah earlier this year.

It was acquired by Apple for worldwide release in a reported $20m deal.

The synopsis for Flora and Son reads: "Single mom Flora (Eve Hewson) is at a loss about what to do with her rebellious teenage son, Max (Orén Kinlan).

"Encouraged by the police to find Max a hobby, Flora tries to occupy him with a beat-up acoustic guitar.

"With the help of a washed-up LA musician (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Flora and Max discover the transformative power of music.

"From the musical mind of John Carney, Flora and Son explores the bond between a mother and son on a journey toward a new harmony."
