Jim Jarmusch is certainly among the most fascinating filmmakers today. It’s not merely his unique silver hair or his appearances in New York-centric series like *Bored to Death* and *What We Do in the Shadows*. His movies, boasting exceptional ensembles, delve into concepts of love, desire, and grief, evident in works like *Coffee and Cigarettes*, *Broken Flowers*, *The Dead Don’t Die*, and *Only Lovers Left Alive*. With the announcement of his upcoming film, *FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER*, there’s been considerable excitement to see the ensemble in their respective roles.

MUBI, the distributor for *The Substance*, has revealed the cast in the initial teaser, showcasing Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, and Françoise Lebrun.

The teaser provides a sneak peek but does not fully convey Jarmusch’s artistic intent. Here’s the official plot synopsis:

*FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER* is a feature film designed as a triptych. The three narratives investigate the relationships between adult children, their somewhat aloof parent(s), and one another. Set in contemporary times, each segment takes place in a different nation: FATHER in the Northeast U.S., MOTHER in Dublin, Ireland, and SISTER BROTHER in Paris, France. The film portrays character studies that are subtle, observational, and impartial—a comedy interspersed with sadness.

Eager to discover more? The film is set to premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on Aug. 31, with Mashable providing a review this fall during the 63rd New York Film Festival. Even if you can’t participate in these events, you’ll have the chance to see Jarmusch’s newest creation this winter.

*FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER* will debut in U.S. theaters on Dec. 24.
