Michelle Yeoh plays a jaded Chinese immigrant in America whose life is changed as she explores other universes that connect to the parallel lives she could have had.

Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in the 1920s, the film follows lifelong friends Padraic and Colm, who find themselves in trouble after Colm decides he no longer wants to be friends with Padraic.

Other candidates returning to the big screen include the musical biopic of the “king” of rock and roll, Elvis.
