Short description

An aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn't consider.

What's left behind the scenes

All animated scenes were initially acted out by actors in studio settings so that the animators could most accurately transfer the plot to animation.
Initially, actresses Cate Blanchett and Cameron Diaz were considered for the lead role, but after seeing actress Robin Wright at an event, director Ari Folman offered the role to her.
The live-action part of the film was shot in America, while the animation was done by specialists from Israel, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Poland.
Like her on-screen counterpart, Robin Wright has two children, an older daughter and a younger son.
The film is based on the book "The Futurological Congress" (1971) by Polish writer Stanislaw Lem.
