First Trailer and New Poster for PALM TREES AND POWER LINES
First look at Jamie Dack's acclaimed directorial debut.

One of the best movies we caught at last year's BFI London Film Festival was director Jamie Dack's feature debut Palm Trees and Power Lines. Expanded from Dack's earlier short of the same name, the film stars newcomer Lily McInerny as a teenage girl seduced by a thirtysomething man (Jonathan Tucker) who may have sinister intentions towards her. Gretchen Mol also stars.

Palm Trees and Power Lines is in US cinemas from March 3rd. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

Check out the trailer and poster below.




The official synopsis reads:

Seventeen-year-old Lea (Lily McInerny) spends her summer break aimlessly tanning in her backyard with her best friend, tiptoeing around her needy mother, and getting stoned with a group of boys from school. This monotony is interrupted by a chance encounter with Tom (Jonathan Tucker), an older man who promises an alternative to Lea’s unsatisfying adolescent life. But as things progress between them, red flags about Tom’s life begin to surface, and Lea chooses to ignore them. Under Tom’s influence, Lea begins to see her mom as unfit and her friends as a waste of her time. Isolated from those around her, Lea discovers Tom’s true intentions and finds herself in a situation that she never could have imagined.
