BFI Distribution has shared a poster and trailer for director Jan-Ole Gerster’s upcoming thriller Islands.
Sam Riley stars as Tom, a former tennis pro now working as a coach at an exclusive holiday resort in the Canary Islands. Bored of his life there, he fills his time with alcohol and fleeting encounters until he meets Anne (Stacey Martin) and Dave (Jack Farthing), a mysterious couple who arrive at the hotel, and Tom finds himself caught in a chain of events which lead to a disappearance. Check out the trailer below…
The film follows Tom (Sam Riley), a former professional tennis player who now works as a coach at an all-inclusive hotel in Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands. What initially seemed like a dream of endless summers has long since turned into a monotonous routine. Tourists come and go in a constant stream, while Tom fills the emptiness with fleeting affairs and alcohol. When the mysterious Anne (Stacy Martin) arrives at the hotel with her husband Dave (Jack Farthing) and their young son, the family doesn’t fit the typical image of tourists. Tom soon grows close to them — but when Dave vanishes without a trace and Anne’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, Tom finds himself entangled in the mystery surrounding Dave’s disappearance.
Islands arrives in UK cinemas on September 12th.
