The English "Queen Charlotte" star India Amarteifio (22) and German "Maxton Hall" actor Damian Hardung (25, "Our Wonderful Years") will play the lead roles in the new coming-of-age drama "Into The Deep Blue". This is reported by "The Hollywood Reporter".
What is the film about?
The screenplay for the film is written by screenwriter and novelist Jennifer Archer. In January, she wrote on Instagram about her novel that inspired the film: "The book of my heart is about friendship, grief, and the emotional rollercoaster you ride when you fall in love with your best friend."
The story follows Nick and Fiona, two best friends who met in a group therapy session and are struggling to regain control of their lives after their losses. "When a weekend getaway brings their deepening feelings to the surface, they'd rather part ways than confront them," according to a summary of the plot.
