About the Film and Its Intriguing Plot

The story revolves around a mysterious death that unravels a series of twists connected to deep-rooted grudges and possibly past lives, featuring Foster in a leading role.
Foster’s Ambition for Her Next Collaboration
While still celebrating the premiere, Foster shared her aspiration of working alongside fellow actress Kristin Scott Thomas in a new film project. She revealed to Variety:
“I want to play Kristin Scott Thomas’ sister because we’re the two people who speak French fluently,”
“Me and Kristin, we can do this together. We’ve known each other for a long time, so I’m going to come knocking at her door. She’s a director now, so I’m like, just direct us in a movie where we play sisters.”
