Fonda plays Addie Moore, whose husband passed away years ago. One day she visits her neighbor, Louis Waters (Redford), who’s been a widower for years. Like Addie, his children live far from home. The two of them begin a relationship, which is teased in this lovely teaser, which features them enjoying a drive together.
Sometimes, all a good teaser needs is a warm scene with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford smiling and driving. That’s enough in this case. Fonda and Redford have both worked with Netflix in the past. Fonda stars in the seriesGrace and Frankie, while Redford starred in Charlie McDowell’sThe Discovery.
Our Souls at Nightwill be one of Redford’sfinal performances, according to the actor. He’s going to focus on directing after what he calls “a love story for older people who get a second chance in life” is released on Netflix, and after David Lowery’sThe Old Man and the Guncomes out next year.

Weber (“The Fault in Our Stars”), Our Souls at Night is set in Colorado and begins when Addie Moore (Jane Fonda) pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor, Louis Waters (Robert Redford). Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town they’d been neighbors for decades, but had little contact. Their children live far away and they are all alone in their big houses. She seeks to establish a connection, and make the most of the rest of the time they have.
Our Souls at Nightwill be available to stream on Netflix onSeptember 29.
