UK Premiere
Brothers Tristan and Lazaro are in training to become the first generation of European astronauts who launch a colonisation effort. In a bid to help his brother, top-of-the-class Tristan plans some late-night training at a local pond. When an unidentified object crashes to earth, the residue infects and disfigures Tristan. With Tristan unable to perform as he once could, Lazaro is forced to contend with training to be the best, whilst learning to accept his brother for who he has now become.
Sitting somewhere between sci-fi and drama, with a sprinkle of Cronenberg, Tropic is a truly fascinating and sombre film about humanity.
