Clouds of Sils Maria follows the story of Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche), an actor who is asked to perform in a new production of a play that made her famous twenty years prior. However, this time she will be playing the role of a different, older character who is obsessed with a beautiful young woman (Chloë Grace Moretez).

Departing to the Swiss Alps with her loyal personal assistant (Kristen Stewart), Maria begins to see life reflecting art and, like her character, cannot help but be drawn into an inexorable web of doubt and fear.

Expertly staged by Olivier Assayas (Carlos, Something in the Air, Summer Hours), Clouds of Sils Maria is a dazzlingly performed meditation on power, desire, loyalty and the passing of time.
