With director James Kent’s The Aftermath opening in theaters this weekend, I recently sat down with Keira Knightley to talk about the drama based on the novel of the same name by Rhidian Brook. The film, set in 1946 post-war Germany, is about a British couple (Knightley and Jason Clarke) that is finally reunited after years apart. Clark plays a British colonel whose job is to help rebuild the city, but tensions arise when he decides to share the house they’ve been assigned with its previous owners, a German widower (Alexander Skarsgård) and his troubled daughter.

During the interview, Keira Knightley talked about why she wanted to be part of the movie, how it’s a grown up love story, the way the film deals with subject matter rarely shown on screen, and if she has any plans on directing.

Check out what she had to say in the player above and below is The Aftermath trailer.
