With Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard at his side for a North American premiere, Mexican auteur Michel Franco said he was “lucky” to have his lead actors on stage at TIFF.

The austere family drama has Chastain playing Sylvia, a social worker who lives a simple life structured around her daughter, her job and her AA meetings. But her routines are disrupted when Saul follows her home from their high school reunion. Their encounter profoundly impacts both of them as they open the door to the past.

During the post-screening Q&A, which followed a standing ovation for the director and lead actors, Chastain said she welcomed working with Michel on a low-budget indie after reading his script. “We got on a zoom and he said ‘you know I don’t have trailers?’ I said that’s fine. ‘And you’ll be doing your hair most days.’ No problem. I even went to Target and bought my costumes,” Chastain recounted.
