The trailer features Schreiber as a decorated American soldier, who returns to Italy to revisit his old duck hunting grounds during his time in World War I. However, he suddenly finds himself infatuated with a young countess, who’s over thirty years younger than him.
Across the River and Into the Trees is directed by Paula Ortiz from a screenplay written by Peter Flannery. The film also stars Matilda De Angelis (The Undoing), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and Danny Huston (Yellowstone). It is produced by Robert MacLean, Kristin Roegner, and Michael Paletta.
“It follows Richard Cantwell (Schreiber), an American Army Colonel in post-WWII Italy. Haunted by the war, Cantwell is a bona fide hero who faces news of his illness with stoic disregard,” reads the synopsis. “Determined to spend a weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver (Hutcherson) to facilitate a visit to his old haunts in Venice. As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman (De Angelis) begins to rekindle in him the hope of renewal.”
