And While We Were Here

Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Island of Ischia, off Italy’s Amalfi Coast, AND WHILE WE WERE HERE follows a young American writer named Jane (Kate Bosworth) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when she accompanies her husband Leonard (Iddo Goldberg) on a business trip. While escaping the mundane life of her strained marriage by adapting her grandmother’s WWII stories (narrated by Claire Bloom) into a memoir, she stumbles into a romantic affair with a younger man (Jamie Blackley) who complicates her life even further.

Inspired by a set of audio-tapes she made of her own late grandmother, the film was written and directed by Kat Coiro, who previously collaborated with Bosworth on the comedy L!FE HAPPENS. AND WHILE WE WERE HERE premiered at the 2012 Tribeca and Locarno Film Festivals.
