Angourie Rice (Mare of Easttown, Spider-Man: No Way Home) and Mallori Johnson (Kindred, Genius MLK/X) are leading under-the-radar Canadian-Belgian psychological thriller Steal Away, which recently wrapped principal photography in Belgium.
Producers Damon D’Oliveira and Clement Virgo of Conquering Lion Pictures (Canada) and Peter De Maegd and Tom Hameeuw of Potemkino (Belgium) are behind the film, which Virgo (Brother, The Book of Negroes) also directs.
The official synopsis reads: “Fanny, a naive teenager, starts her journey to adulthood when Cécile, a mysterious refugee, is taken in by her charitable family. As the two girls develop an intense and obsessive bond, Fanny becomes captivated by Cécile’s way of navigating life, leading to an awakening of desire and jealousy. Gradually, both girls realize that the benevolent world they inhabit is not what it appears.”
