VIDEO: First Look - Oscar Winner Jennifer Connelly Stars in New Drama ALOFT

Sony Pictures Classics has shared the new trailer for the upcoming drama ALOFT, starring Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Noah), Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight Trilogy, 28 Days Later) and Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds, Beginners). Get a first look below courtesy of Yahoo!

The film follows a mother who abandons her child for the common good; a son who abandons himself and his own ability to feel in order to bear the weight of tragedy; and a woman who abandons her life to follow her one obsession of curing herself.

Three characters - complicated, human, flawed - reveal themselves to us, reflecting on the difficult balance of creating a full life while assuming its fragility and uncertainties. Three characters whose belief will channel the life and light within them; whose faith and pragmatism open themselves to self-realization and understanding.

Written and directed by Claudia Llosa, ALOFT hits select theaters New York and Los Angeles on May 22.
