ENDINGS, BEGINNINGS Cast and Crew QA, TIFF 2019
Reeling from a bad recent breakup, Daphne (Shailene Woodley) finds herself adrift in life. Living in her sister s guesthouse, she regularly witnesses her sibling and her brotherinlaw fighting, which only exacerbates the onceidealistic Daphne s growing despair regarding longterm love. Then, at one of her sister s parties, Daphne meets Frank (Sebastian Stan) and Jack (Jamie Dornan, also at the Festival in SYNCHRONIC). Both are enormously attractive to her, albeit in very different ways: one is the freespirited bad boy, unpredictable, and always ready for adventure; the other is sober, intelligent, sensitive, and invested in his career as an academic. Unable to choose between these almost polar opposites, Daphne finds herself bouncing between them instead, enjoying the distinct ways each man sees her it s as though she s auditioning different versions of herself and the life that might be waiting for her. But fate has a way of making decisions for us, and the time soon comes
