Coming 22nd July 2026
Intimacy coordinator Liza Simmons is very good at her job. She is a safe space, a warrior for consent, the person actors rely on when scenes get complicated. Her personal life, however, is anything but safe.
A former actor and divorced single mum, Liza is drowning in debt to her ex-husband Michael and barely holding things together. So, when her agent offers her a job on a glossy, big-budget modern adaptation of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, shooting on a Greek island, she has no choice but to say yes.
It should be a dream job, but Liza arrives on set only to discover that the director is a person from her past who ruined her life. What happened between them begins to infiltrate Liza’s present and future.
On set, Liza is tasked with guiding two young actors through increasingly intimate, emotionally charged scenes. Bunny, a rising star hungry for validation. Alex, a nepo baby with something to prove. But as Liza tries to toe the line between performance and reality, she begins to suspect the real drama is happening off camera. Because the director Gary does not play by the rules. And neither, it turns out, does anyone else.
Outside of the production, Liza is being pulled in every direction. Her ex-husband is escalating demands from home. Her teenage daughter Ruby needs her. And then, without warning, a big part of Liza’s personal life arrives on set, blowing her carefully controlled world wide open.
What starts as a high-end production quickly turns into something far more volatile. Boundaries are crossed. Power shifts. Secrets begin to surface. And Liza finds herself increasingly isolated amongst a crew who misunderstand her role and question her authority on set.
An unexpected “hiatus day” gives the cast and crew permission to let loose. But instead of release, it only accelerates the chaos. Old histories resurface. Accusations are made. But when Liza finally confronts Gary about what really happened between them in the past, their conversation is not as private as she thinks.
As the shoot begins to unravel, Liza is forced into an impossible position. And when everything finally spills out into the open, she discovers the biggest risk is not losing the job, but what she could lose in herself, if she stays silent.
