    "My Policeman" brings together two distinctly contemporary young stars — Harry Styles and Emma Corrin — for a period story that takes on a strong resonance today.

    The decades-spanning film, which premiered Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival, uses six actors to depict three characters. In 1950s Britain, a small-town police officer, Tom (Styles) marries a local teacher, Marion (Corrin). Their close friend, museum curator Patrick (David Dawson), introduces them to a world of culture and adventure, and Tom and Patrick eventually initiate a passionate, clandestine affair. At a time when it was illegal to be gay, with a penalty of going to prison, their happy trio is eventually torn apart by jealousy, prejudice, confusion and a deep betrayal.

    Years later, as Marion and Tom (now played by Gina McKee and Linus Roache) have remained in a functional but passionless marriage, they take in Patrick (Rupert Everett) as he recovers from a stroke. All three of them reevaluate their lives and decisions.

    The movie, in theaters Oct. 21
