From Josh O’Connor, Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan and Isabella Rossellini until Mick Jagger.

According to rumors, his character will be very evanescent: will appear and disappear leaving restlessness, questions and tension. More than a realistic character, it would be a evocative figurein line with the imagery of Rohrwacher’s cinema: a symbolic, enigmatic and transitory presence, functional to the atmosphere of the story rather than to the linear development of the plot.
An isolated world that becomes an emotional prison
The Three Incestuous Sisters is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger. In an isolated house, suspended between land and sea, three sisters live (Dakota Johnson, Saoirse Ronan and Jessie Buckley).
It’s not so much the physical context that matters, as much as the feeling of absolute isolation: the three women form a closed, self-sufficient but fragile system, in which every equilibrium is unstable. Their bond is very deep but also ambiguous: affection, dependence, rivalry and constant emotional tension coexist without ever being resolved. The situation changes when an external element breaks in: a young man who enters their lives and becomes an object of desire for all three sisters.
