As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman begins to rekindle in him the hope of renewal.

Based on the last full-length novel by Ernest Hemingway, the movie captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still.

Matilda has previously revealed that her first ever role was the lead in an Italian film after an open casting call and she got the part as the director was looking for a ‘non-professional actress who had a specific accent from a specific region in Italy’. 

The star said that she has never studied acting and has instead learnt on the job, which can be both ‘great’ and ‘frightening’.
