In Jim Jarmusch’s star-studded new film, familial relations wither under palpable tension. Absence can make the heart grow fonder, yet it can also breed misunderstandings. Featuring a stand-out performance from Tom Waits, this collection of three shorter pieces set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, present a complex, tender and funny family portraits, in which care entwines with dynamics of resentment and regret.

Awarded the Golden Lion for Best Film at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, Jarmusch stages sharply observed reunions between estranged relatives, gatherings filled with half-truths and mysteries.
