“Fingernails” will be set in a surreal future where married couples can undergo a test to see if they are truly in love. Buckley plays Anna, a woman who undergoes the test and doesn’t believe her positive result is accurate, so she takes an assistant job at a “love institute” under an instructor named Trevor, played by Ahmed.

FilmNation will produce alongside Cate Blanchett through her Dirty Films banner, with Coco Francini and Andrew Upton also producing through Dirty Films.

Nikou, who made his critically acclaimed debut with the 2020 Greek drama “Apples,” co-wrote “Fingernails” with Sam Steiner and “Apples” co-writer Stavros Raptis.
