The Epic Fantasy Romance Drama Eternal Return Features The Classic “If I Should Lose You”

Eternal Return is a visually innovative and intoxicatingly fantasy romance drama from writer-director Yaniv Raz (Dr. Bird’s Advice For Sad Poets). Eternal Return stars Naomi Scott (Aladdin), Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), and Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral) as an adventurous trio charting an epic journey back through time in search of the power to love again. In this timeless romance, Cass (Naomi Scott) is resigned to a life without love until she meets Virgil (Kit Harington), an enigmatic mapmaker who charts courses to imaginary places. Their fantastical adventure through London compels Cass to choose between the past she left behind and a future she never saw coming. Eternal Return is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2025.

 

 

 

 

 

Following the tragic death of her partner, Cass (Scott) feels her heart has shuttered. The possibility of it opening again arises when she meets Virgil (Harington), an eccentric but endearing cartographer, and his wise old friend Malcolm (Callow). These two have been developing a way to map places and memories and then carve through time and space, allowing anyone to re-enter a moment from their past. Cass, they realize, is the perfect subject for their bold experiment.

 

 

Cast against type as an awkward man of maps, Harington is effortlessly charming, while Scott exudes a winsome balance of innocence and woundedness and veteran actor Callow lends gravitas to this deceptively whimsical tale. Working with a stylistic palette that recalls the delights of Amélie, Raz keeps the ambiance buoyant, playful, and spectacular. Eternal Return reminds us that, as we look back to the past for guidance and knowledge, our capacity for love depends, above all, in our being fully in the present moment. What better song to capture this fantasy romance than the classic “If I Should Lose You.”
