Excitement is percolating in the cinematic world as Brazilian auteur Iuli Gerbase prepares to captivate English-speaking audiences with her much-anticipated foray into the realm of science fiction. Titled “This Blue Is Mine,” the film is poised to not only push the boundaries of the genre but also to bend minds with its “original, psychosexual sci-fi drama” narrative. Starring the versatile talent Zazie Beetz, known from “Deadpool 2,” and the magnetic Elizabeth Debicki from “Widows,” the film promises a collision of star power and avant-garde storytelling.

Set against the verdant backdrop of a tropical resort, the plot pivots around Arthur, a character who unwittingly stirs his family into turmoil by introducing his bewitching and enigmatic girlfriend, Ivy, portrayed by Debicki. The mystique surrounding Ivy’s comportment sends ripples through the evidently sensitive familial ties, especially affecting Arthur’s daughter Connie, played by Beetz. Connie is grappling with the psychological wounds of a recent miscarriage while her elder half-sister Laura appears to hover with oppressive concern.

The narrative takes a tantalizing twist when Ivy, in a moment of quiet disclosure with an inebriated Connie, alleges her extraterrestrial origin. This revelation sends the plot spiraling into a tantalizing ambiguity—is Ivy a terrestrial seeking the affluent comforts of alliance with Arthur, or is she indeed a celestial being offering a gateway to the stars? Unveiling this dichotomy is further complicated by Ivy’s curious seduction of Connie and her subsequent coaxing of her to venture to her ostensibly otherworldly homeland. But can Ivy’s siren call to be trusted, or is it the unraveling of Connie’s psyche manifesting in a cosmic fantasy?

The science fiction genre tag attributed to the movie tilts the scale of skepticism, suggesting that Gerbase is ready to transcend the constraints of earthly drama in favor of the unknown vistas of science fantasy. Given Gerbase’s previous directorial triumph, “The Pink Cloud,” where an unsettling meteorological anomaly shakes the scripting of everyday life, expectations are amplified for “This Blue Is Mine” to similarly engage its audience in surreal, speculative depths. Harper’s Bazaar hailed “The Pink Cloud” as an unconventional narrative melding aspects of existential dread and intimate human connections within the claustrophobic confines of an unanticipated quarantine.

With production slated to commence this fall, “This Blue Is Mine” promises an exploration of not just outer space, but the inner spaces of the characters and, by extension, its viewers. As the film navigates through the consequences of grief, the weight of family bonds, and the siren-like pull towards the extraordinary, it holds the potential to be that rare cinematic confluence of art, psychology, and speculative imagination that has movie-goers fervently looking forward to its release.
