The movie features an all-star cast includingOscar Issac,Olivia Wilde,Mandy Patinkin,Olivia Cooke,Laia Costa,Antonio BanderasandSergio Peris-Menchet, and runs with a narrative divided into chapters, each focusing on a different but interconnected experience of love, life and loss.

You can catch all of that and more in the video at the top of this article.
