Rebecca Ferguson cemented her star status with the badass Ilsa Faust in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Now book adaptation Despite The Falling Snow finds her spying on a smaller, more intimate scale, as the new trailer reveals.
Taking the story from her 2004 novel, writer/director Shamim Sarif brings to life the world of late 1950s Moscow in the grip of the Cold War. As part of a plan to steal secrets for the American military, Katya Grinkova (Ferguson) targets idealistic Soviet politician Alexander Ivanov (Sam Reid). But what she doesn't expect is to fall deeply in love with him.
Yet things will not go smoothly for the seemingly happy couple: even as Alexander prepares for a diplomatic mission to the States, the KGB is tightening the net around potential leaks, and Katya is their prime target, leading to a sacrifice Alexander won't learn of until he is much older (and played by Charles Dance).
With Ante Traue, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Anthony Head and Amy Nuttall in the cast, Despite The Falling Snow will be out on April 15.
