THE ROOM OUTSIDE THE DOOR | Teaser Trailer (2024)
Sony Pictures Classics released a teaser trailer on Tuesday for the film, which is Almodóvar's first English-language feature and will premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 2. According to the synopsis, "The Room Next Door" follows Ingrid (Moore) and Martha (Swinton), who were close friends growing up while working at the same magazine.
“Ingrid became an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by life’s circumstances,” the description continues. “After years of no contact, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.”
The clip shows Swinton lying in a hospital bed with Moore by her side as dramatic music plays. The two move into the same house together and must navigate their renewed friendship, with Moore seeming much more interested in this than Swinton.
