Cry to Heaven follows the journey of Guido Maffeo, who was orally removed as a child and became a music star before losing his voice. Guido then spends his life searching for a student who can fulfill his unfinished dream. The story touches upon identity, love, betrayal, and the yearning for freedom – familiar themes in Tom Ford's film and fashion .

This marks Ford's return to the big screen in nearly a decade since Nocturnal Animals (2016). The 64-year-old designer is self-funding the entire project, not collaborating with any film studios, in order to maintain maximum creative control. Previously, he sold his Tom Ford fashion brand to Estée Lauder for $2.83 billion, securing the resources to carry out the project independently.
