About the film:

World Premiere, Cannes Film Festival 2025. June Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and pr.oudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who after a devastating loss, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a comically poignant exploration of how the stories we hear become the stories we tell.
