A haunting, eerie journey to a place where souls stir and hearts go to mend themselves, Genova is the dark, brooding voyage of discovery for one family, torn apart by tragedy.

Colin Firth stars as Joe, a university lecturer who leaps at the chance of a year-long teaching job in the Italian town of Genova, seeing it as offering a fresh start for him and his daughters, following the recent death of his wife in a car accident.

When they arrive they have a month to spend together before term starts and, settled into their apartment, sixteen year old Kelly (Willa Holland) starts to explore the exciting possibilities of this new world.

At night her younger sister Mary (Perla Haney-Jardine), who feels responsible for the accident, is haunted by nightmares and by day she starts to see her mother walking in the neighbourhood streets.

Genova is released 13th July
