When one wants to getaway, it’s nice to feel separated from tourists and the hustle-bustle of the location, but in a new film, that ultimate desire results in the extreme. The first trailer has arrived for the Iceland-set thriller Bokeh, which follows a couple (It Follows star Maika Monroe and Matt O’Leary) on their trip in Iceland. Everything is peachy, of course, until they wake up to find themselves completely alone.
What starts off with shopping cart-rides through the supermarket soon devolves into fear, anxiety, and doubt as the duo try to figure out what has happened. Written and directed by Geoffrey Orthwein and Andrew Sullivan in their collective feature debut, Bokeh could be an intimate, small-scale sci-fi thriller with big ideas packed inside. See the trailer below, with a nod to Yahoo.
On a romantic getaway to Iceland, a young American couple wake up one morning to discover every person on earth has disappeared. Their struggle to survive and to reconcile the mysterious event lead them to reconsider everything they know about themselves and the world.
Bokeh will open on March 24th.
