The new, full trailer for Florence Foster Jenkins, the new film that stars Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, has just been released to the internet.

The film, from celebrated filmmaker Stephen Frears (The Queen, The Program), arrives in cinemas this May.

Here’s the synopsis.

The comedy drama directed by Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen) tells the inspirational true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The film celebrates the human spirit, the power of music and the passion of amateurs everywhere.

The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.

The film’s supporting cast members include Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory) as Florence’s long suffering piano accompanist, Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) and Nina Arianda (Midnight in Paris).

Watch the new trailer below. Catch Florence Foster Jenkins in cinemas from May 6th, 2016.
