The film, co-produced by the Irish production company Hail Mary Pictures and supported by Screen Ireland, first premiered at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival, where it gained rave reviews and won the Golden Lion award.

Lastly, Skye (Indya Moore) and her brother Billy (Luka Sabbat) reunite in Paris after their parents' passing.
