Father is set in the Northeast U.S., Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France.

Alongside Blanchett, the cast also includes Adam Driver, Sarah Greene, Tom Waits, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Vicky Krieps, and Indya Moore. The film has completed post-production and will be released in France in May 2025. A US release date is awaited.
