Sony Pictures Classics has released a trailer for writer-director Christy Hall’s upcoming drama Daddio.
Encapsulated in the duration of a single cab ride, the film centres on a passenger (Dakota Johnson) and the driver (Sean Penn) as open up to each other, discussing the important relationships in their lives. Watch the trailer below…
DADDIO celebrates the power found in those rare moments of pure human connection, even with the most unlikely person. This highly contained, yet kinetic character-study — encapsulated in one single cab ride — explores the complexities inherent to the secrets we keep, particularly the ones locked away on our phones. It’s about truth and illusion, how we so effortlessly substitute one for the other out of survival. It’s about the hurtful memories of childhood, how past trauma can manifest itself in profound ways. It’s about the dance between the pain and poetry that is the human experience.
Daddio is coming soon to cinemas from Sony Pictures Classics.
