Synopsis : Quinquin has grown up. He’s now called Coincoin and hangs out on the Opal Coast, where he takes part of the Bloc meetings with his childhood friend “le Gros,” while his beloved Eve has abandoned him for Corinne. Meanwhile, commander Van der Weyden and the loyal Carpentier are canvassing the countryside where migrants wander and strange magma falls from the sky onto the inhabitants who begin to manifest odd behavior. While the citizens gradually split into two, our two heroes investigate what appears to be “inhuman” phenomena. The extraterrestrial invasion begins.
Director Bio : Bruno Dumont was born in the Nord department of northern France, in Bailleul, the small town in French Flanders where he made his first two films, The Life of Jesus (1997) and Humanité (1999). These two films, which were acclaimed in Cannes, introduced Bruno Dumont as a singular filmmaker, in opposition to contemporary French productions. Although his cinema is grounded in a very concrete reality, it escapes social realism in favor of a transfigured, humane reality where tragedy and burlesque, going hand in hand, reach their climax.
