Set in the scorching heat of a Spanish summer, the film follows Rose (Fiona Shaw) and her daughter Sofia (Emma Mackey) as they travel to the seaside town of Almería to consult Gómez (Vincent Perez), an enigmatic healer who may hold the key to Rose’s mysterious illness, which has led her to now use a wheelchair. But in the sun-drenched town, Sofia, trapped till now by her mother’s condition, begins to shed her inhibitions as she is drawn to the magnetic charms of a free-spirited traveler, Ingrid (Vicky Krieps).
Sofia’s increased freedom becomes too much for her controlling mother, and as the hot sun beats down, their relationship simmers with pent-up resentments and bitterness, threatening to tear the fragile threads that hold them together.
Mackey was recently cast in the role of “Narnia” villain The White Witch for Greta Gerwig‘s blockbuster fantasy reboot at Netflix. She is also part of the cast for J.J. Abrams‘ latest mystery box project at Warner Bros. that sees Mackey co-starring alongside Glen Powell, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jenna Ortega.
