Will Francis, portrayed by Jude Law, is a young English landscape architect leading a monotonous life in London alongside his Swedish American girlfriend, Liv, played by Robin Wright. They have been together for a decade and share the challenge of raising Liv’s daughter, Bea, who is a behavioral enigma at the tender age of 13. Bea’s irregular sleeping and eating habits, coupled with her unsocial tendencies—preferring somersaults and gymnastics over social interactions—put immense pressure on Will and Liv’s already strained relationship.
