Cake Trailer

Claire Bennett is struggling to get through day-to-day life despite her buffet of pills, one-on-one medical support and the Women's Chronic Pain Support Group she regularly attends. She is forced to cope with the heart-breaking break-up of her relationship but becomes deeply obsessed with the suicide of Nina Collins, another woman from the support group. In a bid to learn more about her death and, indeed, her life, she persuades the group leader to pass on Nina's address. It's then she meets her widower Roy with whom she strikes up a significant relationship, with both of them dealing with the loss of a loved one and their own brand of chronic pain. Meanwhile, Claire frequently experiences hallucinations of Nina, who slowly draws her towards normality and, perhaps, a happier life.

'Cake' is a darkly amusing drama about one woman's struggles to overcome personal loss and emotional pain. It echoes the lives of so many women - and, indeed, men - with Jennifer Aniston taking inspiration for her character from very real people. It has been directed by Daniel Barnz ('Won't Back Down', 'Beastly', 'Phoebe in Wonderland') and written by Patrick Tobin ('No Easy Way'), and it was nominated for a Golden Globe this year. It is set to be released on January 23rd 2015.
