The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 140 minutes.

What it is about

David Zimmerman, almost 40, is a photographer, but no one knows his work. When friends drag him to a wild party, he spots a woman in the crowd and can’t take his eyes off her; he follows her... A few hours later, David wakes up: he’s in the body of the unknown woman.

What to expect

David Zimmerman is a photographer approaching 40 whose work remains unseen. At a party he is dragged to, he follows a woman out and wakes up in her body. Arthur Harari and Billy Charlton direct Léa Seydoux, Reece Woodhouse, and Niels Schneider in a 140-minute English-language drama with English subtitles. The movie leans into the disorientation of its premise at a measured pace — it is not a thriller, and anyone expecting a high-concept comedy should look elsewhere. It opens in Hong Kong on 10 October 2026, playing standard formats only; no IMAX or 3D screenings have been listed. No audience rating is available yet.
