Soumission

A dry, talky provocation that drifts between political unease and quiet midlife longing, asking you to think rather than feel.

Overview: Adaptation of Michel Houellebecq's novel. François, a university professor "in the midst of an existential crisis", witnesses an astonishing and totally unprecedented upheaval. In a France close to our own, the rise to power of the leading Muslim party is confirmed. Western civilization as we know it is in its final throes. Ben Abbès, a candidate with centrist and humanist ideas, surprisingly wins the presidential election against the Front National. François' disillusioned life is about to be turned upside down. Desire and love resurface, giving new meaning to his life and shaking his own values and convictions...
