The movie – based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Elena Ferrante – follows the story of Olivia’s character Leda, a college professor on a summer holiday at the seaside. 

Leda becomes obsessed with a woman named Nina (played by Dakota) and her young daughter as she watches them play on the beach. 

She’s then reminded of the terror and confusion she felt in early motherhood as she watches the mother-daughter duo, as well as their extended family.

Reminded of the unconventional choices she made for her own daughter, Leda begins to unravel and becomes a prisoner of her own mind, unable to explain what has happened. 

It was announced last month that Netflix had acquired the rights to air The Lost Daughter with the film scheduled for release on the streaming platform in December. 

On casting her husband in her directorial debut, Maggie said while speaking at the festival that she had reservations, but her partner ‘surprised her at every turn’, reports Deadline.  

Maggie revealed: ‘To be completely honest, there was a moment when I thought maybe it’s not such a great idea to have Peter play the object of desire with an exquisite, gorgeous, intelligent young actress.
