andergraunfilms@gmail.com Based on the island of Tahiti, in French Polynesia, De Roller, the High Commissioner of the Republic, and representative of the French State, is a cunning man with perfect manners. Whether at official receptions or in underworld establishments, he is constantly gaging the temperature among a local population that might break out in anger at any given moment. Especially since a rumour has become increasingly persistent: there have been sightings of a submarine whose ghostly presence could indicate that French nuclear tests are resuming.

latido@latidofilms.com Antoine (Denis Ménochet) and Olga (Marina Foïs) are a French couple that settled down, some time ago, in a small village, in inland Galicia. There, they lead a peaceful life, although coexisting with the local people isn’t as idyllic as they would like. A conflict with their neighbors, the Anta brothers (Luis Zahera & Diego Anido), breaks out whereby tension will grow throughout the hamlet until it reaches a point of no return.
