In the poignant and introspective sequel to her acclaimed semi-autobiographical film, Joanna Hogg continues the artistic journey of Julie, portrayed with raw vulnerability by Honor Swinton Byrne. Now a film student in London, Julie channels the heartbreak and loss from her first love into the creation of her own ambitious graduation project. As she navigates the collaborative yet isolating world of filmmaking, she must reconcile her personal memories with the demands of cinematic storytelling, all while her formidable mother, played by Tilda Swinton, remains a complex and watchful presence. This deeply personal drama, also featuring Ariane Labed and Richard Ayoade, explores the blurred lines between life and art, examining how we process grief and find our voice. With a quiet, observational tone, the film immerses viewers in the fragile and often chaotic process of artistic birth, asking whether revisiting the past can ever truly set one free.
