 High Strung is a 2016 American-Romanian coproduction starring Nicholas Galitzine, Keenan Kampa, Sonoya Mizuno, as well as Romanian star Maia Morgenstern.Ruby (Kampa), a dance student, moves to New York to study at the Conservatory of Fine Arts. On her way there she meets Johnny (Galitzine), a hip hop violinist performing in the subway, and there are instant sparks. When Johnny's violin gets stolen, Ruby seeks him out and tries to help him by offering him a chance to participate in a contest that would get him a scholarship, even if Johnny is prejudiced toward what he sees as a clique of spoiled rich kids.Not to be confused with the Steve Oedekerk film.

 Boy Meets Girl: The basic premise - Ruby encounters Johnny in the subway, then makes a connection with him the second time she passes through and his violin gets stolen.

 Uptown Girl: Ruby is implied to be upper or upper-middle class, opposite Johnny, who is a penniless immigrant who's at risk of deportation.

 Naïve Everygirl: Ruby is a more mature version of the trope. She doesn't end up treating anyone badly, but she has the typical arc of arriving to the big city, making a friend with a savvier girl, getting in the way of the Alpha Bitch, falling for a guy, having a falling out with him and briefly being interested in the resident jerk instead before making up with her crush.

 Bromantic Foil: Ruby and her roommate, Jazzy. Ruby is the romantic who falls for the Troubled, but Cute Johnny and manages to help him out. Jazzy hits it off with a Tall, Dark, and Handsome biker guy and has a turbulent relationship that almost gets her suspended from the conservatory.

 Artistic License – Music
 High Strung / int_e603890a
comment
 Artistic License – Music: As TwoSet Violin point out in this video, the violin acting is generally awful, especially from Johnny. Dishonorable mention goes to the sword-fighting with violin bows - which, given how expensive they are, no sane violinist would consider doing. During the finale, Johnny's violin suddenly sounds like an electric guitar halfway through, even though it's still visibly an acoustic one.

 Romantic False Lead: Kyle, who's The Ace violinist at the conservatory. He tries to woo Ruby and she goes on a date with him when Johnny pushes her away. It doesn't last, especially when Kyle doesn't stop trying to bring everyone down.
