Trish (Margaret Qualley) and Daniel (Joe Alwyn) meet in troubled Nicaragua. She is a young American journalist with no passport, no job and no money. He is an English businessman in grave danger because of mysterious dealings. A chance encounter sparks her hope for redemption. And for both of them, a spark of passion. Trish and Daniel's desperate attempts to leave the country and their growing mutual attraction develop into a thriller full of politics, fear, erotic tension and tropical jungle heat. "French cinema legend Claire Denis does what she does best - sensory cinema - in her latest film. The screen oozes stiffness and sweat, and the camera glides over the erotic bodies of the lost characters in the bedrooms where, according to the director, the film is set. Out of bed, the characters try not to get trapped in a Nicaragua in political turmoil, which the director has recreated from a novel by Denis Johnson (Jesus' Son), an international political reporter who worked in the country. And apparently it was not for nothing that she won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival for this adaptation."
