Actress Noomi Rapace‘s next genre role will see her exploring humanity as a skin-crawling witch in Focus Features’ You Won’t Be Alone, set to premiere next month at the Sundance Film Festival. Ahead of its premiere, a new trailer and poster teases just how skin-crawling the witch’s journey might get.
The film is: “Set in an isolated mountain village in 19th century Macedonia, the film follows a young girl who is kidnapped and then transformed into a witch by an ancient spirit. Curious about life as a human, the young witch accidentally kills a peasant in the nearby village and then takes her victim’s shape to live life in her skin. Her curiosity ignited, she continues to wield this horrific power in order to understand what it means to be human.”
You Won’t Be Alone marks the feature debut by Australian-Macedonian writer/director Goran Stolevski. Kristina Ceyton (The Babadook, The Nightingale) and Sam Jennings (Cargo) produce.
The film also stars Anamaria Marinca, Alice Englert (Ratched), Carloto Cotta, Félix Maritaud, and Sara Klimoska.
You Won’t Be Alone releases in theaters on April 1, 2022.
