How is the trailer?
The trailer for ‘We Live in Time’ is two and a half minutes long, but it packs a lot of emotion into those two minutes! It starts with an unexpected encounter between Almat (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield). Almat, a former figure skater and now a Bavarian-fusion chef, accidentally hits Tobias while driving. Tobias, a Weetabix company rep, is on his way to buy a pen to sign divorce papers. This small accident turns their lives upside down.
The trailer shows how their love story unfolds over the course of ten years—falling in love, living together in a house, and happy moments with their daughter Ella (Grace Delaney). Almat teaches Tobias how to crack an egg, and the scenes of the two laughing together are heart-warming. But the story doesn’t stop there. Almat is diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. From here, their love story becomes an emotional test—should they choose chemotherapy, or live happily for the rest of their lives? Bryce Dessner’s music, Romy, and Sampha’s song “I’m on Your Team” make this trailer even more heartwarming. The story is told with timeline jumps, making the trailer feel as deep and painful as this love story.
