What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Drops of God turns wine tasting into quiet detective work, with glasses, vineyards, and cellars supplying clues as well as atmosphere. The drama moves at an unhurried pace between France and Japan, letting sensory detail carry the mystery. Answers arrive gradually, and a wine’s identity can be bound up with a memory rather than just a test of expertise.

Flashbacks give the estranged father-daughter relationship a life beyond the inheritance contest, bringing grief into the present-day rivalry. The two competitors develop a tense, charged partnership, complicating a contest that initially pits them against each other. Their changing relationship gives the puzzle-solving a personal cost: claiming the cellar also means confronting what its owner left unresolved.

She quickly discovers that in addition to the physical resemblance, Tom has flashbacks and visions of Esteban's memories. When a series of murders rocks the peaceful region, Maddi can't help but wonder: are these events connected to her son's death? Who is Tom really, and what is his connection to Esteban?
