Anne HathawayandPeter Dinklageare looking for inspiration inShe Came to Me.
The pair play a New York City married couple in the new comedy from writer-director Rebecca Miller (The Private Lives of Pippa Lee): Dinklage is Steven Lauddem, an acclaimed composer with a creative block, and Hathaway is his wife Patricia, a psychiatrist.
In a clip shared exclusively with PEOPLE, Hathaway’s type-A character encourages Dinklage’s uninspired musician to go on a walk and “get lost” to kickstart his creativity.
“I hate getting lost,” says Steven. Patricia responds, “I don’t mean getlost.I mean meander.” She then encourages him to “interact with a stranger.”
A skeptical Steven replies, “I don’t like strangers.”
“I know what I’m doing,” Patricia tells him before sending him on a walk with their dog. “It’s good. You need this. Have fun.”
