Irish stars Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley join Oscar winner Olivia Colman in the trailer for The Lost Daughter.
The film adaptation of the Elena Ferrante book of the same name is the feature directorial debut of The Honourable Woman star Maggie Gyllenhaal, who also wrote the screenplay.
The psychological drama tells the story of a college professor Leda, played by Colman, who becomes obsessed with a mother, played by Johnson, and young daughter while on a seaside summer holiday.
As the professor reflects on the choices she made in her own life, she loses her grip.
An impulsive act then shocks Leda into the strange and ominous world of her own mind, where she is forced to face the unconventional choices she made as a young mother and their consequences.
The trailer sees ominous flashbacks to Leda’s past in which she’s portrayed by Jessie Buckley.
The cast also includes Ed Harris, Peter Sarsgaard, Dagmara Dominczyk and Alba Rohrwacher.
The highly anticipated flick will be Normal People star Paul’s feature debut.
