See Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh Fall in Love in ‘We Live in Time’ Trailer

Grab the nearest Kleenex box: A24 has released the first trailer for We Live in Time, a romantic drama starring Oscar nominees Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh. The film is set to open in limited release on October 11.

Pugh and Garfield star as Almut and Tobias, a couple whose meet-cute is at once unique and exceedingly dangerous: She hits him with her car. After that rocky beginning, we watch as they fall in love, build a home, and have a daughter together. But over time, we see Almut’s blonde tresses become a buzz cut after she receives a seemingly terrible diagnosis. “I’m not interested in a treatment that accidentally wastes our time,” says Almut in voice-over as Tobias shears her hair. Later, when he asks why she’s taking a risk, Almut responds, “I can’t bear the thought of being forgotten.”

We Live in Time was written by Nick Payne and directed by two-time BAFTA winner John Crowley, who helmed the Oscar-nominated Brooklyn. Benedict Cumberbatch is an executive producer on the film. It’s another project on A24’s busy upcoming slate: The company’s Colman Domingo–led prison drama, Sing Sing, hits theaters on July 12, followed by Max and Sam Eggers’s horror thriller, The Front Room, on September 6. An unrecognizable Sebastian Stan stars in the distributor’s dark comedic thriller A Different Man, which hits theaters on September 20, and the Hugh Grant thriller Heretic premieres on November 15.

“I am guilty of looking ahead,” says a teary Tobias to Almut at the end of the trailer, “instead of right in front of me. At you.”

We Live in Time premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival.
