Apple drops the official trailer for romantic drama titled Fingernails, helmed by Christos Nikou, a playful meditation on love
The film stars Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, Jeremy Allen White, Luke Wilson, Nina Kiri, and Annie Murphy.
Set in an uncanny future — Anna (Jessie Buckley) and her partner Ryan (Jeremy Allen White) have achieved every couple’s dream: they are in possession of a document certifying their true love. Their comfortable if somewhat mundane life, however, leaves Anna questioning their successful love test, administered by placing their extracted fingernails into a cutting-edge machine.
Anna soon begins working for the Love Institute under the tutelage of Duncan (Luke Wilson), which, in addition to determining a couples’ status via the mysterious test, trains them to deepen bonds. She’s paired with the experienced — and devastatingly charming — Amir (Riz Ahmed) to take couples at various stages of relationships through a series of love-building activities before the big test. As the colleagues work to ameliorate the connections of clients, Anna begins to wonder if perhaps Amir is her one true love and if trusting her own feelings is a more reliable metric than what is determined by a machine.
The screenplay is co-written by Nikou, Stavros Raptis and Sam Steiner. In addition to Nikou, Fingernails is produced by Cate Blanchett, Andrew Upton and Coco Francini, salted for November 3rd, 2023 release.
