Starring Jennifer Connelly, Cillian Murphy, Mélanie Laurent and William Shimell, ALOFT tells the story of a struggling mother, Nana Kunning (Connelly) and her evolution to becoming a renowned artist and healer. When a young journalist, Jannia (Laurent) tracks down Nana’s son Ivan (Murphy) 20 years after she abandoned him, Jannia sets in motion an encounter between the two that will bring the very meaning of their lives into question.

“I speak in the name of the whole team of the film when I say that we are ecstatic that the SPC team will be distributing this film in the US and Latin America. We couldn’t have a better partner to take this film to the public,” said Fuentes.

“Since seeing MILK OF SORROW, we’ve been admirers of Claudia Llosa, so it is our pleasure to bring her first English Language film to audiences throughout the Americas, as well as, to be partnering with such a strong team of producers and our old friends at Dreamcatchers,” said Sony Pictures Classics.
