With just the first teaser of “We Live in Time“, fans have been ecstatic about the chemistry between Florence Pugh (Little Women) and Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), who have been cast to star in the romantic drama.
The story, which promises to bring us to tears multiple times, follows Almut and Tobias, who meet in an unexpected way and quickly feel a deep connection. They fall in love and build a life together.
John Crowley (Black Mirror, True Detective and Modern Love) is the one who directed the film, which will hit theaters on January 3, 2025. Meanwhile, Nick Payne, known for The Last Letter from Your Lover, wrote the script.
Is We Live in Time based on real events?
“We Live in Time” could be considered one of the most anticipated A24 heart-wrenching romantic dramas. Its emotional story has been the focus of opinions, particularly regarding whether it is based on real events or not.
As reported by Cinemablend, the movie plays with timelines, showing different moments in the characters’ lives, detailing how they fall in love and eventually start a family together.
All this happens while they must face a challenging truth that will test their bond: Almut has an incurable disease and is on the brink of death. It has finally been confirmed that this is a fictional story.
The characters are not inspired by anyone in particular; rather, the narrative was created from scratch. However, by capturing the emotional highs and lows of each character, it could easily be compared to real life.
The plot deals with mature themes, and each of its scenes is suitable for adults, which is why it received an R rating, mainly for its language, nudity and sexuality, depicting intimate moments between the characters.
