Description

If you are a hopeless romantic this movie is for you! Two people who find themselves in love on a holiday but then are separated by work and whom feel isolated. Will they ever find each other again?

James (James McAvoy) is a British agent under the cover of a water engineer, while Danny (Alicia Vikander) is a bio-mathematician working on a deep-sea diving project to explore the origin of life on our planet. On a chance encounter in a remote resort in Normandy where they both prepare for their respective missions, they fall rapidly, and unexpectedly, into each other’s arms and a deliriously wild love affair develops, even though their jobs are destined to separate them. Danny sets off on a perilous quest to dive to the bottom of the ocean. James assignment takes him to Somalia, where he is sucked into a geopolitical vortex that puts him in grave danger. Both characters are subject to different kinds of isolation as they pine for each other; their determination to reconnect becomes as much an existential journey as a love story. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Wim Wenders, based on a J.M. Ledgard novel.

“Sweepingly romantic…the most roundly satisfying film Wenders has made since [WINGS OF DESIRE]." - Hollywood Reporter
