Charlize Theron and Kim Bassinger star in an intriguing drama where past and present come together to reveal how we can be redeemed through love.

Separated by time and space, Theron plays Sylvia, an emotionally strangled woman confronted by her past, whilst Bassinger plays Gina, dealing with a new affair that is dividing her family. Famous for his multi-narrative screenplays (BABEL and 21 GRAMS) Mexican writer Guillermo Arriaga directs his first feature film, skilfully layering and twisting his storytelling in this tale of redemption, forgiveness and love.

Nominated for a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival where Jennifer Lawrence picked up the coveted Marcello Mastroianni Award for best emerging actor.

“A powerful, compelling and shocking drama that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Charlize Theron and Kim Bassinger deliver explosive performances” Pete Hammond, BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE

“The various parts of the story converge perfectly, like the pieces of a puzzle” PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
