A story of women’s survival
“The theme of the film is civil disobedience in a society divided between those who support order and morality, and those who defend a certain idea of living together and protecting common goods such as air, water, access to resources.”Od-Lea Rapin clarified on the microphone Telerama.
In the prison hell of Planet B, Adele Exarchopoulos joins forces with an Iraqi cleaning lady played by Soheila Yacoub (Dune 2) to lead a rebellion. “I also really wanted to write a story about women saving the world, a story about heroines. Not just about the representation of women, but primarily because that’s the kind of story that appeals to me. I missed it.”– confided the director.
India Hair, Jonathan Couzinié, Paul Beaurepaire and Leo Chalie are also part of the cast of this highly anticipated production. The latter, which combines themes such as ecology, activism and the climate emergency, will hit theaters on December 25, 2024.
