Ewan McGregor and Ellen Burstyn's Mother, Couch Trailer Teases a Wild Family Feud (Exclusive)

Ewan McGregor and Ellen Burstyn are part of a wild ensemble in their new movie.

On Friday, May 10, Film Movement shared the trailer for McGregor's new movie Mother, Couch exclusively with PEOPLE. The film stars Academy Award-winning Burstyn, 91, as a mother whose tension with her children — portrayed by McGregor, 53, Rhys Ifans and Lara Flynn Boyle — comes to a head when she suddenly refuses to stand up from a couch during a visit to a furniture store.

Bewildered by his mother's bizarre insistence on staying at the store, David (McGregor) enlists his siblings to speak with their mother and convince her to leave to no avail. When David suggests they will carry Burstyn's character out of the store, the family matriarch promises she will fight them if they physically touch her — leading the siblings to hopelessly coordinate to determine the source of her discontent.

An official synopsis for the film describes the characters as members of a "dysfunctional family" whose relationships are put to the test when Burstyn's character refuses to leave the store.

"Reluctantly assembled, her three estranged children – David, Gruffudd (Ifans) and Linda (Flynn Boyle) – must figure out how to escape this bizarre predicament," the synopsis reads. "With the help of the store managers and their daughter Bella, the siblings embark on a mind-bending odyssey that forces them to face life-altering truths about their own lives and upbringing."

It has been a wild ride and it is a wild ride we present to the audience. I cannot wait to get this strange and beautiful story out in the world."

Lake Bell, Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham and Taylor Russell also appear in the new movie as part of its all-star cast.
