Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Edgar Ramírez to Star in Love Story NOBODY'S HEART
Gugu Mbatha-Raw (The Morning Show, Loki) and Edgar Ramírez (The Undoing, Jungle Cruise) have signed on to star in the passionate love story Nobody’s Heart, from director Isabel Coixet (The Bookshop).
The film is set against the backdrop of Lisbon in the 1930s, and is adapted from William Boyd’s short story “Cork,” which is based on the life of celebrated Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
“The film follows Lily (Raw), who is forced to confront the sudden and devastating death of her husband. She inherits his cork factory and begins to form an unexpected, highly charged relationship with his enigmatic co-worker, igniting repressed imagination and passion, and discovering unknown truths about both herself and her late husband.”
Coixet said of the film:
“This is a fascinating, twisted and sexually charged love story between two characters sharing a unique passion with the background of Portugal in the 1930s. After reading William Boyd’s script, I completely fell in love with the story and I know there’s a hunger out there for these stories.”
This sounds like a good project for all involved. I am a fan of Mbatha-Raw and Ramírez, and I think they will be great in these roles.
