In the thought-provoking and visually stunning 'Eternity', Elizabeth Olsen shines as Joan, a woman forced to make an impossible decision after death. With two husbands vying for her affection, Joan must choose between the comfort and familiarity of her long-time spouse, Larry (Miles Teller), and the passionate love she never got to experience with Luke (Callum Turner), her dashing first love who died in the Korean War. The film takes place in the Junction, a quirky afterlife hub where the recently departed can browse and select their eternal abode. With a vast array of options, including Paris Land and Studio 54 World, the choice is final, adding to the tension and stakes.
