EXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures Classics has closed a deal to acquire On Swift Horses , the Daniel Minahan-directed drama that premiered last month at the Toronto Film Festival as a Special Presentation. The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter and Diego Calva.

Pic is set in the 1950s, where married Muriel and her brother-in-law Julius embark on their own parallel, straight paths in life, only to find their hidden desires coming to the surface. On Swift Horses is written by Bruce Kass and produced by Peter Spears, Theresa Page and Christine Vachon.

UTA Independent Film Group is brokering the North American deal with SPC, and Black Bear International is handling the international territories.
