Renowned Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos is back with a fresh cinematic endeavor titled 'Bugonia', which recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

The plot revolves around conspiracy-driven cousins, played by Jesse Plemons and newcomer Aidan Delbis, who kidnap a pharmaceutical CEO believing her to be an alien.
