Ahead of Valentine’s Day on February 7, comes romantic movie We Live in Time, starring Andrew Garfield as Tobias and Florence Pugh as Almut
“There is the very distinct and real possibility that I am about to fall in love with you,” Tobias says to a confused-looking Almut in the trailer. The film spans their relationship and the challenges they face over decades.
