In the stunning premiere trailer for The Sea of Trees, a weary wife named Joan (Naomi Watts) tries to make conversation with her vacant husband Arthur (Matthew McConaughey), and is defeated as he once again shows no interest in what she has to say. Their once-happy marriage has become bitter and stagnant, as Arthur tries to write a new novel and Joan is left to maintain the household all by herself. Their lives are made even more complicated as they discover that Joan may have cancer.
Arthur decides it's all too much and travels to a remote forest in Japan, called the "Suicide Forest," where he meets Takumi (Ken Watanabe). Together, the two lost men form a friendship and rediscover their long-forgotten love for life.
