A Beautiful Life (2023)

While playing guitar for a friend with musical ambitions, fisherman Elliott gets the attention of a well-known music manager. Though he's a natural, the changes -- fame, new relationship, jealousy from his ambitious friend -- come so fast that Elliott struggles a bit with the new paradigm and his place in it.

The story goes exactly where you expect it to, but Christopher is such a magnetic talent that I didn't much mind the lack of surprises. The emotional song performed at the end of the movie (below) is especially lovely and brought honest tears.
