Directed by Niki Byrne, “The Julia Set” follows math prodigy Julia Fischer (Infiniti), who is recruited into an elite prep course culminating in the most punishing exam in mathematics. At the same time, she begins to fall for her charismatic teaching assistant Pascal (Christopher Briney). As Pascal crumbles under the weight of his overbearing father Aleksander’s (Jason Isaacs) suffocating expectations, it is Pascal’s mother, Anne (Gillian Anderson), who helps Julia recognize and seize a moment of opportunity that will help to define her future.

The film also stars Nina Hoss, Carmen Ejogo, Chloe Bailey, Nico Hiraga, Liz Lin and Alex Dillard.

“There are so many wonderful things I could say about HanWay, but nothing speaks louder than these three words: sold out, worldwide,” said Byrne. “Thank you to Gabrielle and her incredible team, and to our extraordinary partners in every territory, for believing in this film, and for giving Julia her passport.”
