We Were The Lucky Ones is led by Logan Lerman and Joey King, so it is expected they will play the roles of Addy and Halina. The rest of the family also features a talented cast who prove their mettle via angsty and heart-touching performances, as the Kurc family is shown in the trailer enjoying a life before WWII, during the Second World War and after it.

Though not much is known, except by fans of the original book, about the fate of the family members, the trailer shows several near-tearjerker moments as the young individuals survive starvation, torture, ghettos, and whatnot. Still, the film does not stray from its hopeful purpose and emanates an atmosphere of faith, love, and endless belief.
