Planet B
An eco-activist awakens to find herself in virtual prison Planet B. Her only hope of escape is an undocumented migrant who has found a way to access this reality.
It’s 2039 and eco-activist Julia (French A-lister Adèle Exarchopoulos) disappears without a trace on her group’s latest strike only to awaken to find herself in Planet B – a virtual prison. There she forms a fragile pact with Nour (Souheila Yacoub), an undocumented Iraqi journalist who has her own urgent reasons for visiting Planet B and who offers Julia her only hope of escape. Aude Léa Rapin’s gripping and complex futuristic thriller raises questions about police surveillance and the treatment of political prisoners in the modern world. The Beast director Bertrand Bonello’s otherworldly synth score adds to the eerie atmosphere.
