Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled the teaser trailer for the drama Daddio [DADIO]. The two-hander stars Dakota Johnson [DJOHN] as a woman riding a taxi cab and Sean Penn [SPENN] as the driver. Written and directed by Christy Hall, Daddio opens in theaters this summer.
DADDIO celebrates the power found in those rare moments of pure human connection, even with the most unlikely person. This highly contained, yet kinetic character-study -- encapsulated in one single cab ride -- explores the complexities inherent to the secrets we keep, particularly the ones locked away on our phones. It’s about truth and illusion, how we so effortlessly substitute one for the other out of survival. It’s about the hurtful memories of childhood, how past trauma can manifest itself in profound ways. It’s about the dance between the pain and poetry that is the human experience.
