TOGETHER - In an honest and hilarious depiction of life during lockdown from director Stephen Daldry, James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan play a couple who are forced to re-evaluate themselves when they're stuck indoors for more than a year.

An aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.
