Mortensen and Seydoux star as a performance artist couple whose provocative act involves the growth and removal of new organs on stage before a live audience.

Their fame prompts an investigation by the National Organ Registry, which is looking into the disease that allows them to perform.

The event was subject to strict Covid-19 protocols in 2021 but this year’s Cannes has largely done away with pandemic measures.
