Lillie (Hera Hilmar), frustrated by ongoing injustice at home, leaves the United States after meeting Jude (Josh Hartnett), an American doctor who runs a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire. There, she finds her loyalty to Jude and the mission's founder tested when she falls in love with their perceived enemy, a lieutenant (Michiel Huisman) in the Ottoman Imperial Army. Check out some of the period drama with this trailer for THE OTTOMAN LIEUTENANT.
Admittedly, I'm kind of a sucker for period romances. Judging from the trailer, THE OTTOMAN LIEUTENANT didn't have the highest budget, but it's still a very nice movie to look at, and I'm diggin' Hera Hilmar in the lead role. Josh Hartnett doesn't get much screentime in the trailer so I'm thinking things are going to work out too well for him, but we'll see!
THE OTTOMAN LIEUTENANT opens in theaters on March 10, 2017.
