Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nadia Tass hadn't directed a feature in 12 years before this; she famously said she only returned for stories about 'impossible love'.
The film was marketed as a straight romance but plays more like a meditation on grief displacement—Marissa's attraction to Connor only fully ignites after realizing his son shares her child's diagnosis.
