Wim Wenders, James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander unite for a tale of romance and international intrigue.
Direct from its theatrical release comes the dramatic romance Submergence, from Academy Award nominated and acclaimed director Wim Wenders, based on the best-selling novel by J.M. Ledgard and featuring outstanding performances from BAFTA Award Nominee James McAvoy and Academy Award Winner Alicia Vikander.
James More (McAvoy) is a British Secret Service agent. He is about to go on a dangerous undercover mission to Somalia to track down a source who can provide details of suicide bombers infiltrating Europe. Danny Flinders (Vikander) is a bio-mathematician working on a deep-sea diving project to explore the origin of life on our planet. When they meet by chance, they fall rapidly, and unexpectedly, in love. But their work will too soon tear them apart, and when James is taken hostage by Jihadist fighters, he has no way of contacting Danny to tell her he is alive before she embarks on her perilous quest to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
A multi-layered story that embraces some of life’s most profound concerns, Submergence is based on the novel by J.M. Ledgard, who was inspired by his experiences living and working in Somalia. Ledgard constructed a highly intricate, cerebral novel interweaving three distinct but overlapping worlds.
Separated by fate. Bound by destiny. Submergence is the compelling and mesmerising tale of two lovers connected by something much deeper.
