'We are really enjoying ourselves,' Tilda gushed to IndieWire in February.

'It's really thrilling. For me, as just a film fan, I'm just so thrilled for all of us that Pedro is making another movie, and it's going to be a real Pedro movie.'

Swinton continued: 'It's a beautiful thing, and I can't say that much more about it, but I can tell you it's a real Almodóvar film. 

'What I can tell you is that it's about mature friendship in a way...It's about mature friendships and how they sustain us and what we need them for at this stage in our lives. So it's going to be meaty.'
