Stunningly shot and featuring a haunting soundtrack by The XX, Leonard Cohen, and Arvo Pärt, L'ATTESA heralds the arrival of a talented new voice, Piero Messina (assistant director on Paolo Sorrentino's THE GREAT BEAUTY). With Sicily as his backdrop, Messina navigates the story of the strange relationship between two women from different generations. Academy Award®-winner Juliette Binoche stars as Anna, who is meeting her son Giuseppe's French girlfriend, Jeanne, in the lead up to Easter festivities. Young and enchanting, Jeanne arrived with excitement before Giuseppe, whose continued delays cast a mysterious shadow over the household. As Anna and Jeanne wait, they grow closer than either imagined they would, despite the secrets they're harboring from one another.
