Two young men, Jeremy and Bild, find themselves in a strange land which
could be a million miles from the urban jungle they are used to.
Here they come across a community of a few dozen people who are living
in perfect harmony with nature. Bild is here to find his
long-lost mother, whom he believes to have founded this happy
community. Things are not quite what they seem, however, even in
paradise...

The very best fantasy films in French cinema
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
