The Weight of Water Trailer

Film Description

Two stories unravel simultaneously in this dark and suspenseful film. The first story, set in the present day, concerns a photographer, Jean. She is working on an article for a magazine about a pair of bloody murders that happened 200 years before on the Isle of Shoals, just off the coast of New Hampshire. To get the pictures she needs she must visit the location of the murders, and so her husband, Thomas, arranges a yachting trip with his brother Rich, and his girlfriend. The foursome pal around, enjoying the sea and the sun, while Adaline shamelessly seduces Thomas. Meanwhile, Jean is reliving the Isle of Shoals murders in her head, which is where the second story comes in. Maren is a Norwegian woman who has recently immigrated to America with her husband. When her sister and sister-in-law are brutally bludgeoned to death with an axe, she is the sole survivor, and thus the only one who knows the truth about what happened. The Weight of Water draws a parallel between these two tense episodes, as the surf swirls menacingly, foretelling imminent disaster.
