Rock legend Marianne Lane (
Tilda Swinton) is recuperating on the volcanic island of Pantelleria with her partner Paul (
Matthias Schoenaerts), when iconoclast record producer and old flame Harry (
Ralph Fiennes) unexpectedly arrives with his daughter Penelope (
Dakota Johnson and interrupts their holiday, bringing with him an A-bomb blast of delirious nostalgia from which there can be no rescue. "A Bigger Splash" is a sensuous portrait of laughter, desire, and rock-and-roll detonating into violence under the Mediterranean sun.
