When a loved one goes missing, it leaves a void that can never be filled. Most people would do anything to get them back, even if that means venturing to very dark places. That’s the central idea behind Meanwhile On Earth, a French sci-fi feature from Oscar-nominated I Lost My Body director Jérémy Clapin.
The film stars Megan Northam (Greek Salad) in her feature film debut, joined by Catherine Salée, and Sam Louwyck.
SYNOPSIS: “Elsa (Megan Northam, in her debut feature starring role), along with her family, is struggling following the disappearance of her brother Franck, an astronaut who vanished during his first mission. While stargazing one night, Elsa is shocked to receive contact from Franck, but her joy is short-lived when she learns of the dark and troubling forces behind Franck’s reappearance, forcing her to confront the lengths she will go for the brother she once feared was gone forever.“
Meanwhile On Earth had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, and will make its North American debut later this month at Fantasia Fest.
Metrograph Pictures will release Meanwhile On Earth in theaters September 13th, 2024
