In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with (Miles Teller) and her first love (Callum Turner), who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive.
Goodbye June is an upcoming Christmas family drama film directed by Kate Winslet in her directorial debut, from a screenplay written by her son Joe Anders. It stars an ensemble cast that includes Toni Collette, Johnny Flynn, Andrea Riseborough, Timothy Spall, Helen Mirren, and Winslet herself. The film set during Christmas, in which the characters gather around their dying mother, and confront themes of grief, reconciliation, and love.
Winslet explained that she had not initially intended to direct, but after reading Anders' script she decided to take on the role of director as well as actor and producer. She emphasized the therapeutic nature of the story, describing it as "about family, not just about death." Winslet also adopted unconventional filming methods, such as using small microphones on actors instead of traditional boom equipment, to create a more intimate atmosphere on set.
