"The pearly gates are swapped for a busy midcentury train station, where harried souls rush to their own personal "eternities" - the paradise where they must spend, well, eternity. Among those countless souls are Joan (Elizabeth Olsen), Larry (Miles Teller), and Luke (Callum Turner), three people stuck in an unlikely dilemma. Joan has just passed away at 92, after being happily married to Larry for 60 years."
""That idea of a woman having to choose between that first great love and that last love just felt like such an extraordinary idea, something that I can't believe hadn't existed already," director David Freyne tells Inverse. "I had so many ideas for it and for the world that I wanted to build around it." Freyne encountered the idea when he happened upon the script by Patrick Cunnane a year before it was featured on the Black List,"
Joan dies at ninety-two and arrives in an afterlife designed as a busy midcentury train station where souls head to personalized eternities. She discovers both Larry, her husband of sixty years, and Luke, her first husband who died in battle, waiting for her. Joan must decide which husband to spend eternity with. David Freyne envisioned the premise as an exploration of first love versus last love and developed a midcentury modern afterlife world. Freyne found Patrick Cunnane's script, rewrote it, and took on directing despite limited prior mainstream credits, confident in the premise and casting Olsen, Teller, and Turner.
