In The Room Next Door, acclaimed writer Ingrid (Julianne Moore) reconnects with her estranged friend Martha (Tilda Swinton), a terminally ill war journalist, who invites her to be present during her final days.
Directed by Pedro Almodóvar in his first English-language film, this adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s novel ‘What Are You Going Through’ explores the deep, complicated bonds of friendship and the inevitability of death.
Set in an upstate New York house, the story follows Ingrid as she grapples with Martha’s decision to end her life on her own terms, using a euthanasia pill. With nuanced performances from Moore and Swinton, the film resonates as a meditation on death, love, and the enduring connections between people, even in the face of life’s end.
