“There is something special in the first hit. This “something” changes a person. After the first successful performance, only you can't wait for the next”, — reads the trailer.
Watch the mesmerizingly good duo of actors Michael Shannon (War of the Currents, The Shape of Water) and Jessica Chastain (Interstellar). This is their first class work.
