Paris-based Paradise City Sales has released a first look of Bill Nighy and Makram Khoury in Babak Jalali’s Liverpool-set drama A Town in Nova Scotia as it gears up to launch the title in next month.
Nighy plays Irishman Leon whose daughter suggests he joins her in Canada’s picturesque Nova Scotia province after the death of his beloved wife. As he mulls her suggestion, he launches a crusade to make his aging block of flats safer in the wake of a deadly fire in a similar property in London.
