Some time later Davy and Ally, two recently discharged British Army servicemen, return to their homes and families in Edinburgh after a tour in Afghanistan ("I'm on my Way"). Ally returns to his girlfriend Liz, a nurse who is Davy's sister. On Davy and Ally's first night home Liz introduces Davy to her English friend and colleague Yvonne at a pub, where Liz and Yvonne take part in some drunken story telling, a Scottish tradition ("Over and Done With"). Following from their blind date Davy and Yvonne strike up a romantic relationship ("Misty Blue") as Ally and Liz consider their future as a potential married couple ("Make my Heart Fly"). Ally explains to Davy that he intends to propose to Liz during the 25th wedding anniversary party for Davy's parents Rab and Jean ("Let's Get Married"). Shortly before the celebration, Rab receives a letter from, and later meets, a daughter he didn't know he had; the product of an affair early in his marriage (the mother of this affair had died and Rab secretly attended the funeral). At the anniversary party Rab serenades Jean ("Oh Jean"). Ally then proposes to Liz, who turns him down. Jean discovers the letter, and is outraged at Rab's infidelity. After a fight develops, Yvonne is horrified at Davy's aggression. Shortly afterwards, Rab suffers a heart attack and is admitted to hospital. During this time Jean feels guilty and blames herself for the deconstruction of her family but her colleagues at the National Art Gallery reassure her that none of these events were her fault ("Should have been Loved"). Rab recovers, and Rab and Jean reconcile ("Sunshine on Leith"), as do Yvonne and Davy ("Then I Met You"). Liz and Ally's relationship appears to dissolve. Ally re-enlists, while Liz accepts an offer of a job in Florida ("Letter from America"). After an argument with Davy, Yvonne prepares to leave Edinburgh. However, before she can reach Waverley railway station, Davy catches her and declares his commitment to her in Princes Street Gardens where they reconcile for a second time ("I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunshine on Leith (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
