Lily is one of those safe, resolute, sarcastic in the face of the most traumatic events. Lily invited the rest of the family to spend the last weekend with her and her husband Paul (Sam Neill) for an off-season Christmas.

Currently, an old family friend, Liz (Lindsey Duncan) is also present. Everything seems relatively in order, until secrets begin to appear, and conflicts begin to emerge.
To begin with, Lily’s decision is not well accepted by all. Death, after all, is not something that Western societies face very well. Michael, known for his romantic comedy, said, “I think it is more difficult to think of death in a world without God.” A place called Notting Hill, In an interview with Estadou During the Zurich Festival. “The Victorians had the benefit of God.

For filming, actors came from all over the world and were limited to the venue, presented in Sussex, England, as Connecticut, USA. The union was immediate. “This is the only WhatsApp group I participate in,” said Duncan. Not only: The director and the entire cast got the same tattoo, that of the Blackbird, which symbolizes many things, including knowledge and death. This is the fault of Kate Winslet, whom Duncan described as “the best event organizer out there”. On the final day of filming, which was short, everyone got in for drinks and food, and the two tattoo artists rounded up. “It was really cool,” said Lindsey Duncan, who had never had a tattoo. “It was special, we did a lot of fun filming. But the film is serious. “The play was really just in front of the cameras.
