On the same day that Rogelio decides he cannot keep up the lie, he receives a letter from back home that turns his life upside down.

Anamaria Vartolomei, Brandon Vlieghe, Camille Cottin, Fabrice Luchini, Lyna KhoudriOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 2024.In a quiet and picturesque fishing village in Northern France, a very special child is born, unleashing a secret war between extraterrestrial forces of good and evil. In an attempt to restore their empires, two opposing forces from the depths of outer space, One and Zero, unleash an apocalyptic conflict on Earth. The villainous Zero forces secretly take over the bodies of village locals in order to foster pandemonium on our planet. At the same time, a new species engineered by the One is working towards a new, harmonious evolution. While waiting for the final battle, the imperial legions struggle to win humanity over to their cause. If that all sounds a bit out there, that’s because this slapstick space opera comes from the singular mind of Bruno Dumont (France, Slack Bay). Featuring wonderfully bizarre performances from French stars like Fabrice Luchini, Camille Cottin, and Anamaria Vartolomei, this gonzo sci-fi spectacle is part Star Wars, part Spaceballs, and 100% Dumont.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Comedy films.; Science fiction.; Motion pictures--France.; Outer space.; Science fiction films.; Motion pictures--Europe.;
