Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Amazon is giving a glimpse of the new film My Policeman.

Prime Video shared a trailer for the romantic drama Wednesday featuring Harry Styles, Emma Corrin and David Dawson.

My Policeman is based on the Bethan Roberts novel of the same name. The film follows Tom (Styles), a closeted gay policeman living in 1950s Britain when homosexuality was illegal.

The trailer shows Tom openly court and marry Marion (Emma Corrin), a schoolteacher, while having a secret love affair with Patrick (Dawson), a museum curator.

Linus Roache, Gina McKee and Rupert Everett play older versions of Tom, Marion and Patrick in the 1990s.

"A beautifully crafted story of forbidden love and changing social conventions, My Policeman follows three young people -- policeman Tom (Styles), teacher Marion (Corrin) and museum curator Patrick (Dawson) as they embark on an emotional journey in 1950s Britain," an official description reads.

My Policeman is written by Ron Nyswaner and directed by Michael Grandage.

The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the cast will be honored with the TIFF Tribute Award for Performance. TIFF runs Thursday through Sept. 18.

The movie opens in theaters Oct. 21 and begins streaming Nov. 4 on Prime Video.
