Vertical has released a poster and trailer for Late Bloomers, the upcoming comedy from director Lisa Steen.
Karen Gillan stars as Louise, a 28 year old, who adrift, and trying to find herself in life, finds herself stuck on a physical therapy ward after drunkenly breaking her hip. During her hospital stint she meets the cranky, elderly Polish Woman (Margaret Sophie Stein) and the pair form a begrudging friendship as Louise reluctantly becomes her caregiver. Watch the trailer below…
Louise (Karen Gillan), 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. 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.
The film stars Karen Gillan, Margaret Sophie Stein, Jermaine Fowler Alexandra Barreto, and Taylor Feltner.
Late Bloomers arrives in cinemas and On Demand on June 7th.
