Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton lead Oscar-winning director Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language film, an adaptation of Sigrid Nunez's novel and winner of the Golden Lion at Venice 2024.
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter. Eventually, they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
