Variety is exclusively reporting that Emma Laird, Fionn Whitehead, Zar Amir Ebrahimi and Adwoa Aboah will star in the psychological drama Satisfaction.

Set against the backdrop of the Greek isles, the film focuses on Lola who takes revenge against her sexual partner Philip. Things begin to unravel when they encounter the enigmatic Elena, who intoxicates Lola with her uninhibited way of being and emboldens her to face the roots of her pain.

Emma Laird (whose credits include Mayor of Kingstown and A Haunting In Vince) is playing Lola, Fionn Whitehead (whose credits include Dunkirk and Voyagers) is playing Philip, and Zar Amir Ebrahimi (whose credits include Holy Spider and Shayda) is playing Elena.

Alex Burunova, director of the film which marks his narrative feature debut, released a statement saying:

I wanted to make a film that challenges our ideas about love and relationships, gender and sexual identity. And what’s allowed. But underneath the veneer of a romantic three-hander, there is a difficult personal story that’s been ten years in the making.

Kyle Stroud of Carte Blanche also released a statement saying:

We were deep in the casting process trying to find out Lola; the soul of the film, and around that time I was watching dailies for a film that I am beyond honoured to be a part of, Brady Corbet’s upcoming ‘The Brutalist’. I saw Emma’s nuance and confidence, and called Alex – who delved into her work, and instantly felt she had both the intensity and fragility that embodies Lola.

Rafael Thomaseto of Driven Equation added:

‘Satisfaction’ invites audiences into the profound beauty of life’s unspoken moments and the layered eloquence found in silence. The film proposes a universal language that transcends borders and unites diverse audiences through shared human experience. This project stands out not only for its thematic inclusivity but also for the commitment to diversity, with a talented ensemble both in front of and behind the camera, ensuring an authentic and representative portrayal that speaks to the hearts of viewers from all walks of life.

The film, which has wrapped principal photography, is being produced by Carte Blanche, Driven Equation, Ukraine’s Constant Production and Kristi Films. Zar Amir Ebahimi will also serve as executive producer on the project.
