Maria Martinez Bayona's debut feature, THE END OF IT will have its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2026. 

Written and directed by Maria Martinez Bayona and starring Beanie Feldstein, Noomi Rapace, Rebecca Hall and Gael Garcia Bernal.

In a near-future world where ageing can be cured and death is now optional, Claire (Rebecca Hall), a former provocative artist approaching her 250th birthday, decides she’s had enough – she wants to die. Her decision stirs conflicts with her husband (Gael García Bernal), daughter (Noomi Rapace), and AI assistant (Beanie Feldstein), revealing the humorous complexity of their relationships. As Claire uses her impending death to reclaim her role as an artist, she is forced to face what it really means to die, to live, and the messy absurdity of it all. 

Produced by Elation Pictures and Fasten Films, co-prouced by The Media Pro Studio and Eye Eye Pictures with backing from BBC Film.
