The movie tells the story of a wealthy man named Damien (Ben Kinglsey) who can’t defeat cancer. His only hope is a radical medical procedure called “shedding,” in which his consciousness is transferred to a healthy body. Following the procedure, Damien, now called Edward (Reynolds), embarks a new life in New Orleans, but is plagued by disturbing images.

“It was challenging. I put myself in her shoes, thinking that her husband is dead and all of a sudden, he’s there in her living room, ” Martinez, 30 told Pulso POP. “What do you do with that situation? I want to run and hug him, but at the same time it’s weird. It was definitely challenging, it was a roller coaster of emotions to play.”

The Cuban-American actress said that one of the reason’s she loved forming part of this production was because of its intriguing plot. “It makes you think that this science can happen at one point in the future.”
