In presence of Cédric Ido, Saturday november 5.

A man walks free from prison. Returning to his city after three years, he observes some major changes. A mysterious planetary alignment is about to upend the lives of the inhabitants. The sky turns red.

"The old-timers get it. There are rules here now. You either adapt or you disappear. We see everything here, nothing can escape us". In a shabby suburban city, with the air of a dilapidated futuristic city, several generations live alongside one another. The atmosphere is slightly apocalyptic, amidst deals, disputes and grandiose clashes, a mysterious alignment of planets and red-soaked sky occur. A powerful film, somewhere between science fiction and social drama, written and directed by the talented Franco-Burkinabé Cédric Ido, in which he depicts the neighborhood of his childhood where gravity resembles a "glass ceiling" crushing its residents.
