Jennifer Lawrence og Brian Tyree Henry har hovedrollerne i den nye Apple TV+ film Causeway, der får premiere 4. november.
Jennifer Lawrence spiller rollen som Lynsey, en militæringeniør, der er vendt tilbage til USA fra Afghanistan med en invaliderende hjerneskade efter en IED-eksplosion.
Hun lærer at gå igen og genoptræner sin hukommelse, hjulpet af en snakkesalig, men øm vicevært (Jayne Houdyshell). Men da hun vender hjem til New Orleans, konfronteres hun med minder, der er endnu mere smertefulde og formende end dem, hun havde mens hun var i millitærtjeneste – et opgør med sin barndom.
Mere om handlingen fra den engelske pressemeddelelse:
Staying with her mother (Linda Emond), with whom she shares a tense relationship, all Lynsey wants to do is return to her work as an engineer. Her doctor (Stephen McKinley Henderson) is wary, and so in the meantime, she gets a job cleaning pools. When her truck breaks down she meets James Aucoin (Brian Tyree Henry), who works at the auto repair shop and offers her a ride home. Slowly they start to rely on each other for company and solace. James, it turns out, is also suppressing his own past trauma.
These two damaged souls’ budding friendship forms the center and the heart of Neugebauer’s debut feature — a quiet but devastating, and ultimately uplifting, story about coming to terms and moving forward.
