Amenabar wrote the film, which is under a veil of secrecy.

Alas! A hint! The film is a historical drama set in early Egypt. The story involves a slave who turns to Christianity to pursue freedom, and then falls in love with his master, a female philosophy professor and atheist. You guessed it: Weisz plays Hypatia, the Alexandrian professor.
