The Opal Coast, Northern France. In a quiet fishing town, unusual events begin to happen: the birth of a special baby sparks a war between good and evil empires from other planets. Lightsaber fights, explosions, and the story of forbidden love begin in the banal coastal landscape. Awarded the grand jury prize in Berlin - the "Silver Bear" - Bruno Dumont reinterprets the science fiction genre and creates a European version of "Star Wars", offering not only a satirical vision of the cosmic apocalypse, but also an apt commentary on the human condition of our time.

Former philosophy teacher Bruno Dumont ("The Life of Jesus", "Humanity", "Flanders") made his first feature film at the age of 38, which won several awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Dumont's cinema combines realism, existential themes, a combination of beauty and brutality, and the harsh landscape of Normandy. The director provokes the audience by breaking the rules of genre cinema. Scanorama presented Dumont's films "Camille Claudel, 1915" (2013), "Shallow Waters" (2016), the musical "Zhana" (2019).
