adaptation of Ernest
Hemingway’s Venice-set novel, Across The River And Into The Trees.

Matilda De Angelis (The Prize), Laura
Morante (Cherry On The Cake), Javier

Six-time Golden Globe nominee Schreiber will play
Colonel Richard Cantwell, Hemingway’s semi-autobiographical lead character who
is an American officer serving in Italy right after World War II, facing up to
the news of his terminal illness with stoic disregard. Determined to spend his
weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver to facilitate a
simple duck hunting trip and a visit to his old haunts in Venice. As his plans
begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a young countess begins to kindle in
him the hope of renewal. The novel was the penultimate to be published while
the writer was alive.
