The film tells a story of survival, resistance and sorority in the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp – the only one of its kind – during the final days of World War II.
'Each of Us' is directed by an all-female team of four European filmmakers: Anne Zohra Berrached ('24 Weeks'), Neus Ballús ('The Plague,' 'The Odd-Job Men'), Stina Werenfels ('Dora Or the Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents') and Anna Jadowska ('Woman on the Roof,' 'Wild Roses').
The film, inspired by true stories, is written by screenwriters Eva Pauné and Mirjam Ziegler. It follows the intertwined stories of four women from different countries who struggle to preserve their humanity amidst the brutal conditions of the camp. Their lives become linked through a young girl who brings both hardship to them but also hope.
'Each of Us' is lensed by Agnieszka Holland's favorite director of photography Jolanta Dylewska ('In Darkness,' 'Spoor,' 'Ayka') and edited by Pedro Almodovar's collaborator Teresa Font ('The Room Next Door,' 'Parallel Mothers').
The producers state: 'To allow for an authentic representation of our four protagonists' backgrounds, experiences, and identities, 'Each of Us' is filmed in a truly unique way: each director focused on a different protagonist, offering her individual attention from screenwriting to mise-en-scène. From the rushes, we can tell the result is an awe-inspiring experience — marked by emotional depth and a strong connection to the protagonists and their individual journeys, in which solidarity, the characters' quiet strength, and a sense of hope rise far above the harsh realities depicted.'
The film is produced by Alhena Production (Spain), Bon Voyage Films (Germany), Turnus Film (Switzerland), and Blick Productions International (Poland), in co-production with Ramen Studio and EFD Group.
The project was developed with the support of Media Creative Europe, and is also supported in Spain by ICAA, ICEC, TVE and TVC, in Germany by ARTE, SR, SWR, RBB, BR, MDM, MOIN and MBB, in Switzerland by BAK, Zurich Filmfund and RGB Stiftung, and in Poland by PISF and WFDIF.
The film is in production and being shot in Poland, Germany and Spain.
'We are honored to represent 'Each of Us,' a film that brings together a remarkable team of female directors (two of whom we had the pleasure to work with before, Neus Ballús and Anne Zohra Berrached) and a compelling narrative that resonates universally,' said Thorsten Ritter, executive vice president of Beta Cinema. 'Its exploration of resilience and solidarity in the face of unimaginable adversity is both timely and timeless.'
Beta Cinema's Cannes slate also includes Fatih Akin's new film 'Amrum,' screening in official selection, several English-language upcoming titles like the Bill Nighy-led road-movie '500 Miles,' and the market premieres of the Italian hit comedy 'U.S. Palmese' by directors Antonio and Marco Manetti, and the Spanish debut 'The Remnants of You' by Gala Gracia.

'I've met many who have gifts of this nature, but there are none who have the precision that Laura has,' Moore, 62, told HELLO! 'My greatest gift is the closeness of our friendship and the second is the encouragement she gives me in trusting myself. If I'm uncertain but have an instinct, I have someone who helps me clarify. And most often, it is accurate to me.'

Jacob Elordi & Lily-Rose Depp To Star In Cormac McCarthy Adaptation ‘Outer Dark' — Red Hot Project Bubbling At The Cannes Market
EXCLUSIVE: Here's a very cool project bubbling at this year's Cannes market. We can reveal that Jacob Elordi and Lily-Rose Depp, two of the industry's buzziest young names, are set to star in Outer Dark, a film based on iconic author Cormac McCarthy's (No Country For Old Men) dark 1968 novel. More from Deadline Tribeca Title 'Dog of God' Acquired For France As Media Move Launches Sales - Cannes Market 'Dossier 137' Director On Cannes Ban Of His Film's Actor Accused Of Sexual Assault: "I Understand Their Decision" International Insider: Cruise In Cannes; Standing Ovations; Chinese Box Office Future The 'dark fairytale', which is being lined up to shoot in 2026, will mark the English-language debut of Oscar-winning Son Of Saul filmmaker Laszlo Nemes. Outer Dark is set in Appalachia during the Great Depression and tells of a young woman who bears her brother's baby. The brother leaves the nameless infant in the woods to die, but tells his sister that the newborn died of natural causes and had to be buried. The sister discovers this lie and sets out to find the baby for herself. But as both brother and sister separately move through the countryside, three terrifying strangers are on their tails, wreaking death and destruction wherever they appear. Nemes wrote the screenplay with Clara Royer, while Mike Goodridge of London-based Good Chaos is producing alongside Nemes; executive producers are Ilene Feldman, Ori Eisen of Original Films and Nicolas Gonda. Good Chaos and Nemes have the book-to-screen rights. Goodridge, the Triangle Of Sadness co-producer who has Left-Handed Girl playing at this year's festival, is among the team on the ground in Cannes in early talks with potential partners for the project. It's not formally on sale here but there are likely to be plenty of suitors to finance or get behind it. We understand the actors really sparked to the material and both are coming off big successes. It's fitting stuff for both: Depp is coming off Oscar-nominated box office hit Nosferatu, another dark fairytale, while Euphoria and Priscilla star Elordi is coming off excellent notices for The Narrow Road To The Deep North and will next be seen as the creature in Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, as Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights and in Ridley Scott's Dog Stars, which is in production. Laszlo Nemes said: 'Since reading Outer Dark the first time, it has been my dream to make it into a film, and to find the appropriate cinematic language that would do justice to Cormac McCarthy's evocative and cosmological work. Joined by two magnetic actors, I now feel it's possible. The extraordinary source material is a profound inspiration to build a unique world that vibrates with life and death at the same time. An exciting road-movie, a terrible and beautiful journey into the labyrinth of the human soul – this is the ambition I have for Outer Dark.' Nemes recently completed his third film Orphan (also produced by Goodridge) which is scheduled to premiere at a festival later this year before its October 23 release in Hungary. He will next shoot Moulin, a French-language feature about WWII resistance fighter Jean Moulin which is being sold at the Cannes market by 193. Gilles Lellouche and Lars Eidinger are starring for producer Alain Goldman. Alongside Orphan, Goodridge is also in post-production on Edward Berger's next film, The Ballad Of A Small Player, starring Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton. Cormac McCarthy's lauded novels adapted for the screen include Oscar winner No Country For Old Men and Viggo Mortensen starrer The Road. Elordi is repped by Gersh and Goodman, Genow. Depp is repped by CAA, Markham, Froggatt & Irwin, Agence Adequat, and Lichter, Grossman. Nemes is represented by CAA and Ilene Feldman Management.
