THE PREMISE
In a near-future world where ageing is curable and death is optional. Claire (Rebecca Hall), a former provocative artist nearing her 250th birthday, chooses to take control of her fate and declares she has had enough. She wants to die. Her decision stirs conflicts with her husband (Gael García Bernal). Daughter (Noomi Rapace) and AI assistant (Beanie Feldstein), revealing the humorous complexity of their relationships. As Claire uses her impending death to reclaim her role as an artist, she is forced to face what it really means to die. To live, and the messy absurdity of it all.
MARIA MARTINEZ BAYONA
“This film asks a question: what would it mean to go on living forever? But more importantly, what does it mean to feel alive? A question which is profoundly human, contradictory and also absurd. I’m incredibly excited to embark on this journey with such an amazing cast and crew, and supportive partners alongside us” – Maria Martinez Bayona
