In PHOTOGRAMS we share its trailer, exclusively, where we will emerge on the rural getaway of three friends, which will unexpectedly go wrong due to the disappearance of a young woman, and the arrival of Alice’s boyfriend, Simon, with whom she has a conflictive and abusive relationship. A plot that will remind you of titles as mythical as ‘Sleeping with his enemy’ (Joseph Ruben, 1991), ‘Dying Light’ (George Cukor, 1944) or ‘Big Little Lies’, the HBO series in which the character de Nicole Kidman suffered a situation of physical and psychological abuse by her partner, played by Alexander Skarsgård.

In addition to starring Kendrick, in the shoes of Alice, we will see the actresses in its main cast Kaniehtiio Horn (‘On the road’) and Wunmi Mosaku (‘Other people’s house’), and the actor charlie carrick (‘The Wolf and the Lion’).

“‘Alice, Honey’ talks about coercion and control through a subtle and nuanced story. As a director, I couldn’t have asked for a better team of performers and professionals to bring this tremendous story to the big screen,” Nighy said of her film, which It will hit theaters on May 19..

In turn, Kendrick shared the feelings he had about the project, and the reason why he had decided to embark on it, acknowledging: “The style of Alanna Francis, the screenwriter, is very poetic and restrained. I really liked how he tells this story about a toxic and abusive relationship, which has nothing to do with the usual representations of this type of situation in the cinema. The way in which he captures this woman’s inner anguish and the subtle yet rewarding journey she embarks on is absolutely spot on. That is why I have been so interested in the project.“

In closing, Nighy added: “The chemistry between Anna Kendrick, Wunmi Mosaku and Kaniehtiio Horn is wonderful. This group of friends is having a lot of fun.”

“Anna she is a great professional. She has managed to get into the role of Alice and put on that kind of mask with which she protects herselfalthough it cracks as the film progresses and allows us to glimpse the pain and tension suffered by this person who tries to put on a brave face and show that everything is going well”, he ended by saying.

According to the film’s official synopsis, “Alice is a woman on the edge. At thirty, she lives in a situation of psychological abuse perpetuated by her boyfriend, Simon, who has trapped her in a state of paralysis. She during a vacation in the country with her two best friends, Alice will rediscover the essence of herself and finally gain the much-needed perspective. However, Simon’s revenge for his partner’s unexpected escape is as inevitable as it is devastating. and, once unleashed, will test Alice’s stamina, her courage, and the strength of her bond with her friends.”
