\"Kinds of Kindness\" is described as a \"triptych fable\" following the pursuits of various characters. Lanthimos' new film tracks \"a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader,\" according to the synopsis.

Lanthimos' \"Poor Things\" took home four Oscars at the 2024 Academy Awards including best production design, makeup and hairstyling, costume design and best actress, won by Stone for her starring role as Bella Baxter.

\"Kinds of Kindness\" hits theaters this summer on June 21.
