Liev Schreiber stars in Across the river and into the trees – based on the latest novel by Ernest Hemingway.

Set in Italy during World War II, U.S. Army Colonel Richard Cantwell is a true war hero who faces the news of his terminal illness with stoic defiance.

Determined to spend his weekend in quiet solitude, he requisitions a military driver to facilitate what is likely a final duck hunt and to visit his old haunts in Venice.

As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a young countess begins to spark hope for renewal.

Based on the last complete novel published by Hemingway during his lifetime, Across the river and into the trees captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still. The story contains Hemingway’s great themes: love, war, youth and old age.

Also featuring Matilda De Angelis, Josh Hutcherson, Danny Huston, and more, Across the river and into the trees is in select theaters in August.
