Actress/director Megan Park’s The Fallout has gotten its first trailer ahead of its debut on HBO Max.

Described “as a compelling exploration of the inexplicable resiliency of life and the hope that emerges out of loss,” the film will debut Jan. 27 on the streamer. It first premiere at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival.

The film stars Jenna Ortega, Maddie Ziegler, Niles Fitch and Will Ropp with John Ortiz, Julie Bowen and Shailene Woodley.

Here is the official description of the film:

Bolstered by new friendships forged under sudden and tragic circumstances, high schooler Vada (Jenna Ortega) begins to reinvent herself, while re-evaluating her relationships with her family, friends and her view of the world. Moving away from her comfortable family routine, she starts taking chances with a series of quicksilver decisions that test her own boundaries and push her in new directions. As she spends more time with Mia (Maddie Ziegler), they grow closer, and Vada slowly redefines herself through their shared experiences, leading her further away from that day and closer to living her life in the now.
