Vertical has released the Late Bloomers trailer for its forthcoming comedy-drama starring Guardians of the Galaxy alum Karen Gillan.
The video features Gillan as a 28-year-old woman who finds a new purpose in life after unexpectedly forming a friendship with a stubborn elderly woman.
The film is scheduled to make its debut on June 7 in select theaters and on VOD.
“Louise, a 28-year-old Brooklynite adrift in life, finds herself suddenly single and grappling with her identity as a musician. While she struggles with her underlying depression, a reckless drunken stumble lands her with a broken hip, and leads to a stint in a physical therapy ward with patients twice her age,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Here, she crosses paths with Antonina (Margaret Sophie Stein), a cantankerous elderly Polish woman who speaks no English. Reluctantly, Louise takes on the role of Antonina’s caregiver, a situation neither of them welcomes. As they navigate their begrudging relationship, they confront the realities of aging, forcing Louise to consider her own journey into adulthood.”
Late Bloomers is directed by Lisa Steen from a screenplay written by Anna Greenfield. The film also stars Margaret Sophie Stein as Antonina, Jermaine Fowler as Brick, Kevin Nealon as Al, Danielle Alonzo as Florence, Talia Balsam as Dorothy, Winsome Brown as Monika, Lori Tan Chinn as Inez and more. It is executive produced by Jackie Kelman Bisbee, Lance Acord, Cody Ryder, Wendy Neu, Franklin Carson, Robina Riccitiello, Emma Pompetti, Tegan Acton, Hallee Adelman, Ivy Herman, David Bernon, Paul Bernon, Sam Slater, Marc Iserlis, Ng Say Yong, Anthony Eu, Greg Beauchamp, and Carter Collins, with Alexandra Barreto, Taylor Feltner, and Sam Bisbee producing.
