The film is the narrative feature debut of theater and commercial director Alex Burunova, who is also known for the acclaimed shorts “Pale Blue” and “Lonely Planet.” Set against the backdrop of the Greek isles, the film follows Lola (Laird) who takes revenge against her sexual partner Philip (Whitehead). Things begin to unravel when they encounter the enigmatic Elena (Amir), who intoxicates Lola with her uninhibited way of being and emboldens her to face the roots of her pain. Amir, best actress winner at Cannes 2022 for “Holy Spider,” also serves as executive producer for the female empowerment tale.

Rafael Thomaseto of producer Driven Equation said: “’Satisfaction’ invites audiences into the profound beauty of life’s unspoken moments and the layered eloquence found in silence. The film proposes a universal language that transcends borders and unites diverse audiences through shared human experience. This project stands out not only for its thematic inclusivity but also for the commitment to diversity, with a talented ensemble both in front of and behind the camera, ensuring an authentic and representative portrayal that speaks to the hearts of viewers from all walks of life.”
