From playwright, author, and Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg, When You Finish Saving the World tells the moving and evocative story of three individuals working to understand each other and themselves: Nathan, a father learning to connect with his newborn son; Rachel, a young college student seeking to find her place in a relationship and in life, before marriage to Nathan; and Ziggy, their son, a teenager hoping to figure out where he came from, and where he’s headed. The shifts between time frames in these characters’ lives span more than a decade and eloquently capture the complexities of growing up, having children, and fitting in.
Eisenberg—the star of The Social Network, The Squid and the Whale, and Zombieland—stars as Nathan; Kaitlin Dever, star of Booksmart and Unbelieveable, is the voice of Rachel; and Finn Wolfhard, star of Stranger Things, plays Ziggy, their son.

A24 Music has released the original song Pieces of Gold from Jesse Eisenberg’s feature directorial debut When You Finish Saving the World. The track written and performed by lead actor Finn Wolfhard as his character Ziggy Katz & the film’s composer Emile Mosseri (Minari, Kajillionaire, The Last Black Man in San Francisco) is now available to stream/download on all major digital music services, including Amazon. Also listen to the song after the jump. A full soundtrack album featuring more songs and Mosseri’s score will be released on January 20. When You Finish Saving the World is written and directed by Eisenberg and also stars Julianne Moore, Alisha Boe, Jay O. Sanders, Billy Bryk and Eleonore Hendricks. The comedy drama premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival and will be released in theaters on January 20 by A24.
