VIDEO: Watch the Trailer for Upcoming Film WHERE IS KYRA Starring Michelle Pfeiffer & Kiefer Sutherland

Presenting Michelle Pfeiffer in one of the most acclaimed performances of her storied career, Andrew Dosunmu's WHERE IS KYRA? tells the story of Kyra Johnson, a middle-aged divorcee who moves into her elderly mother's Brooklyn apartment while she looks for work and tries to get back on her feet. When her mother suddenly dies, Kyra is left without any support, both emotional and financial, and finds herself with very few options--none of them good. Despite a blossoming affair with a sympathetic neighbor (Sutherland) with struggles of his own, Kyra can't accept that her once-tidy life has fallen apart, and she resorts to increasingly DESPERATE MEASURES to hold onto what little she has left.

Another unique and evocative portrait of life in contemporary New York City, WHERE IS KYRA? is Dosunmu's follow-up to his award-winning feature, Mother of George, widely considered one of the best independent films of recent years. Reteaming with writer Darci Picoult, cinematographer Bradford Young (Academy Award-nominated for Arrival, Selma), and composer Philip Young, Dosunmu brilliantly conveys the plight of a strong-willed, capable woman who nonetheless finds herself slipping through society's cracks, and toppling from a stable, secure life to the very edge of ruin.

The film opens in Los Angeles on April 13.
