Variety reports that the film is a "magic-realist romantic thriller" which is set during the Argentinian dirty war of the 1970s.
It is being directed by Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) and stars Banderas as an Argentinian theatre director whose wife, played by Thompson, is kidnapped.
Soon after her abduction, he begins to experience visions of other people's loved ones who have "disappeared" under the regime. When he decides to use his clairvoyant powers to find his wife, he becomes a target of the authorities.
Arenas Entertainment, the Latino label of Universal Pictures, says the film will "appeal to people everywhere for its uplifting ideas that show how love and imagination can triumph over evil."
