Summary
Inside Llewyn Davis follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Llewyn Davis is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles--some of them of his own making. Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, Llewyn's misadventures take him from the baskethouses of Greenwich Village to an empty Chicago club--on an odyssey to audition for a music mogul--and back again.
