Trigonometry S1
Trigonometry is an unconventional love story about three people who are made for each other. In crowded, expensive London, a couple decides to take in a housemate to help pay the bills, and finds the perfect match they never knew they needed.
Directed by festival favourite Athina Rachel Tsangari, who’s won at Venice, London and AFI and competed at Sundance and SXSW, Trigonometry stars Gary Carr (The Deuce, The Good Fight, Downton Abbey), Ariane Labed (The Lobster), and Thalissa Teixeira (Press).
Nominated for a Teddy Award at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival, this acclaimed eight-part BBC series has a 80% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Times (UK) calling it “a gentle, quietly surprising love story.”
