It’s been just over a year since Anton Yelchin‘s tragic passing, and it’s still hard to believe he’s gone. An actor with gifts and talent he still had yet to share, we can take some comfort that there’s still one more film to treasure from Yelchin in “Porto.”

Directed by Gabe Klinger, executive produced by Jim Jarmusch, co-starring Lucie Lucas, and shot in 35mm, the film tells the story of a romance that blooms between two foreigners in Portugal. Here’s the official synopsis:
Jake (Anton Yelchin) and Mati (Lucie Lucas) are two expats who experience a brief but intimate connection in the ancient Portuguese city of Porto. He’s an American loner exiled from his family. She’s a student from France embroiled in an affair with one of her professors. After spotting each other from a distance at an archeological site and then again at a train station and a café, Jake works up the courage to approach Mati and they embark on a night of carefree intimacy.
Having had its World Premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival and US premiere at SXSW, “Porto” opens on November 17th in New York City and November 24th in Los Angeles.
