In Animal Kingdom, a visionary thriller that immerses viewers in a world where mysterious genetic mutations transform humans into hybrid creatures, François (Romain Duris) does everything he can to save his wife, who has been affected by the condition. As some of the creatures disappear into a nearby forest, François embarks with Emile (Paul Kircher), their 16-year-old son, on a quest to find her with help from a local police officer (Adèle Exarchopoulos). From acclaimed director Thomas Cailley, the film had its world premiere as the opening night selection of Cannes’ Un Certain Regard.
