The wife is battling cancer, adding complexity to their journey. Upon arriving, they check into the Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel, where they encounter a series of enigmatic characters. The script is written by Patrick Marber, adapted from Peter Cameron's novel. Scorsese is directing and producing for Sikelia Productions, with Lawrence executive producing through Excellent Cadaver.
