A man and a woman stand face to face, both excited to see each other. Another man stands between them, shocked.

Eternity

  David Freyne  |  U.S.

In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with (Miles Teller) and her first love (Callum Turner), who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive. Guided by an Afterlife Coordinator (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), they have just one week to confront the ultimate dilemma: where, and with whom, to spend eternity. From this whimsical concept blooms a bold, heart-stirring rom-com, a journey into a charming pop vision of post-earthly existence and how we take the measure of a lifetime of love and happiness.
