Don’t miss the chance to enjoy a relaxing evening outdoors while immersing yourself in the best of French cinema!

This visionary thriller draws viewers into a world where genetic mutations transform people into hybrid creatures.  As some of the creatures disappear into a nearby forest, François sets out to save his wife, who is affected by the mysterious condition, with his 16-year-old-son Émile and the help of a local police officer. Thomas Cailley’s marvelous film is a modern ecological fable touching upon societal, economic, and personal themes.
