When she comes across a novel by an unknown author, Catherine is horrified to discover that she is the protagonist of a story that reveals her darkest secrets. As she tries to uncover the true identity of the writer, Catherine must confront her past before it destroys her life and her family.
Alfonso Cuarón is part of the wave of Mexican filmmakers who have made a significant impact in Hollywood. He creates films with a strong traditional structure, often adapted from novels, including A Little Princess (1995), Great Expectations (1998), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), and Children of Men (2006). In Gravity (2013), which opened Venice 70, Cuarón offers a rare example of motivated and intelligent use of 3D, winning seven Academy Awards. He returned to Venice in 2015 as Jury President and later in 2018 with Roma, which won the Golden Lion, as well as three Academy Awards and two Golden Globes.
