目前透露的《Fingernail》剧情概要: a young woman (Mulligan) begins to wonder if her long-term relationship actually is a real thing. To test if the love affair is real, she enlists in a study at a mysterious institute that determines how much real love exists between partners. 一个年轻女子开始对自己所处的马拉松式恋情生疑。为了测试这段恋情是否真实,她接受了一个判别真爱的神秘学院的研究招募。 据导演Christos Nikou(一个希腊新人,因上一部电影《苹果》而崭露头角)的理解: “‘Fingernails’ explores the modern experience of falling in love at a time when – though it seems more accessible than ever – romance has become so uncertain, complicated, and elusive,” 这片探索的是堕入爱河的现代体验——当浪漫变得如此不确定、复杂和难以捉摸。当下这类感觉似乎比以往更容易产生共鸣了。
Christos Nikou被寄望为下一个Yorgos Lanthimos(兰斯莫斯,2019年的英语片《宠儿》拿下奥斯卡影后)。CB从他上一部电影就担任制片,这部《Fingernails》将是他的首部英语片。而童姥最近因为《Promising Young Woman》而成为影评人宠儿以及本届奥斯卡影后提名热门,对该片邀约爽快答应。
