When you take a step back and look at the many chance encounters that have happened over the course of your life, what do you see? For some, this brush with fate has maybe led to positive things like a fresh start or a new job, or perhaps even a great love story. In other cases, space for grief and tumult has opened up after crossing paths with the wrong person. In the case ofJohn Crowley’s (Brooklyn) latest directorial effort,We Live in Time, audiences will watch one of those unforeseen meetings blossom into an unexpected romance between an aspiring chef and a recent divorcee. StarringFlorence Pugh(Oppenheimer) andAndrew Garfield(Spider-Man: No Way Home) as the lovebirds at the center of the story, the first trailer fires up the movie’s romance.
In the case of Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield), their chance encounter involved the former hitting the latter with her car as the trailer reveals the early moments of their relationship and their hospital meet-cute. Moving back and forth through the couple’s decade together, the teaser shows all the highs and lows that love brings. Deeply dedicated to one another, no matter what the world throws at them, Almut and Tobias face it with humor, understanding, and care.
