Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh's romance “We Live in Time” will close the 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival’s official selection, screening out of competition.

Written by Nick Payne and directed by John Crowley, “We Live in Time” stars Pugh and Garfield as two people whose lives are forever changed when an accident brings them together.
The movie's official synopsis reads: "Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives. Through snapshots of their life together – falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family – a difficult truth is revealed that rocks its foundation. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken, in filmmaker John Crowley's decade-spanning, deeply moving romance."
The film has Benedict Cumberbatch among its executive producers and was directed by John Crowley and based on a screenplay developed by Olivier award-winning playwright Nick Payne.
