Parkland Entertainment have acquired U.K. and Eire rights to Charles Dance starrer “The Book of Vision.”

Parkland plan to release the film theatrically later in 2022.

Directed by Carlo S. Hintermann, the psychological thriller sees Eva (played by “Outlander’s” Lotte Verbeek) star as a young doctor who leaves her career behind to take up a course in the history of medicine at a remote university. Via a manuscript called The Book of Vision, she soon finds her fate entwined with that of an unusual 18th-century physician named Johan Anmuth (Dance).

“The story of Anmuth and his patients inspire Eva to live her life to the fullest,” reads the logline. “Nothing expires in its time. Only what you desire is real, not merely what happens.”

Terrence Malick (“Days of Heaven”) executive produces.

Alongside Dance (“Game of Thrones”) and Verbeek (“Outlander”), the film also stars Sverrir Gudnason (“Borg vs McEnroe”), Isolda Dychauk (“The Borgias”) and Filippo Nigro.
