One of the films making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival is the dystopian emotional thriller The End We Start From, led by BAFTA-winning star Jodie Comer (Killing Eve). With the festival underway, the first teaser trailer for the film has been released, and it offers a glimpse at the emotional rollercoaster that awaits a new mother as she faces off two new worlds — motherhood and dangerously high flood levels. The emotional thriller will release in the U.S.on December 8, 2023.
The trailer begins in a warm fashion, showing a beautiful, playful moment shared between a mother and her newborn child. “Where am I?” the mother asks playfully as she hides behind her top, much to the amusement of her child. A calm, tranquil scene soon gives way to a more treacherous series of clips that see people running hysterically while also being pressed as they flee the ever rising floods that are hitting London. The forceful demeanor of nature’s wrath is very evident in the trailer as floods are seen come crashing into a home. And by the time Comer asks “Where am I?’ at the end of the teaser, the tone is more fearful.
The End We Start From is viewed by many as a feminist survival story set in London during the advent of an environmental crisis. In the path of treacherous floods looking to sweep the city, the story focuses on a young family that are torn apart hoping to be reunited in the aftermath. Comer’s character has only one aim in this story, to protect her newborn, Z, at all cost. This quest will see a number of relationships strained along the way as this mother ventures into motherhood in the most trying of times. The environmental thriller is adapted from Megan Hunter’s 2017 critically acclaimed novel of the same name.
