Gael García Bernal Wants to Download His Wife In 'Another End'

Sci-fi and Romance fans, unite! The first image from the upcoming drama Another End has been released. The movie stars Gael García Bernal (Cassandro) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World) as pretty different star-crossed lovers. In the story, people who lost a loved one are able to implant the dead person’s memories into a rented body. Reinsve plays Zoe, the woman whose body is used as vessel for Bernal’s character’s dead wife.

While the new image is not very revealing, it brings Bernal front and center and makes it clear that his character Sal is obviously grieving. He’s standing inside a futuristic-looking tunnel that might be the facility in which the procedure to bring back his wife’s memories is done. Aside from Bernal and Reinsve, the cast of Another End also features Bérénice Bejo (The Artist), Olivia Williams (The Crown) and Pal Aron (About Time).

The movie is directed by Piero Messina (The Wait). Back in 2023, the Italian director talked to Variety about the project and revealed what notes he hopes to hit with Another End:

“The idea is to make a science fiction film that is also love story. It’s the tale of two people who have loved each other, and continue to love each other, even after one of them dies. I worked with the possibilities of this paradox of loving someone who is in another body.”
