It also delves into Swinton's acting philosophy, highlighting her commitment to the project and her ability to fully embody diverse roles.

From the moment Tilda Swinton crossed paths with Pedro Almodóvar at a party in Los Angeles, a creative kinship was born. That connection blossomed into their collaboration on the film. In it, Swinton plays a woman grappling with terminal cancer who enlists an old friend (played by Julianne Moore) to assist her in dying with dignity.

True to Almodóvar’s acclaimed body of work, the film offers a profound meditation on the human experience, the intimate bonds we forge, and the ways we confront mortality. Following its Golden Lion award for Best Picture at this year’s Venice Film Festival, the poignant drama earned a Golden Globe nomination for Swinton.
