SILVER

After losing his wife in a tragic car accident, Sal (Gael García Bernal) is consumed by grief, sleepwalking through life. His concerned sister (Oscar® nominee Bérénice Bejo) suggests he try a new service called Another End that would allow his wife's memories and mind to be temporarily transplanted into the body of a stranger to achieve a sense of closure. Disgusted by the idea at first, he relents and finds comfort in the presence of the beautiful woman (Renate Reinsve) who seamlessly embodies the hopes, dreams and even annoyances of his former wife. But as the service's end date approaches, Sal spirals out of control, becoming obsessed with the woman who resembles his wife. Italian filmmaker Piero Messina's bold, futuristic tale of love and loss is a twist-filled stunner that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Official Selection, 2024 Berlin Film Festival.
