Written and directed by Hogg with Martin Scorsese once again on board as Executive Producer, the film follows an artist and her elderly mother who confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past. The film is an Element Pictures production with the support of A24, BBC Film, JWH Films, and Sikelia Productions.
Shot in secret in Wales during the UK’s Covid-19 lockdown, Swinton is on double duty in the film, playing both mother and daughter. The small cast is rounded out by Joseph Mydell and Carly-Sophia Davies. The film had its world premiere at Venice and went on to play TIFF and had its UK premiere at LFF.
