Bleecker Street released the trailer for The World to Come, set to world premiere in the Spotlight Program of the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. The film directed by Mona Fastvold; and starring Katherine Waterston, Vanessa Kirby, Christopher Abbott, along with Casey Affleck will open in theaters on February 12 and on digital Tuesday, March 2.
In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbott), when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other’s lives they never knew existed.
Directed by Mona Fastvold and scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen, The World to Come explores how isolation is overcome by the intensity of human connection.
