Set in post WW2 Venice Italy, American Army Col. Richard Cantwell (Liev Schreiber),
haunted by the war, is a bona fide hero who faces news of his terminal illness with
stoic indifference. Determined to spend a weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers
a military driver to facilitate a visit to his old haunts in Venice. As Cantwell's plans begin
to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman (Matilda de Angelis)
begins to re kindle in him the hope of renewal.
Based on the last full-length novel Hemingway published in his lifetime, ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still.
The story contains the great Hemingway themes of love, war, youth, and age.
