Based on Samanta Schweblin’s internationally-acclaimed novel, Fever Dream is directed by Peruvian filmmaker Claudia Llosa, who first gained recognition for her work in 2009’s The Milk of Sorrow, which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film. The film is being led by Maria Valverde, Dolores Fonzi, German Palacios, Guillermo Pfening, Emilio Vodanovich, Guillermina Sorribes Liotta, Marcelo Michinaux, and Cristina Banegas.
“A woman named Amanda lies stricken, far from home,” reads the synopsis. “A young boy named David questions her, trying to make her remember. She’s not his mother, he’s not her son. As her time is running out, he helps her unravel a powerful, haunting story of obsessive jealousy, an invisible danger, and the power of a mother’s love for her child.”
