The Gradiva - Marine Atlan

France, 145 minutes A class of French teenagers travels to Naples and Pompeii for their end-of-year trip. Confronted with the ancient ruins and the petrified bodies under Mount Vesuvius, a brooding, sizzling tension arises within the teenage group. As the youngsters wander through the historical remains, pent-up emotions and desires slowly come to the surface. Visually, director Marine Atlan elevates the story to a sensual level. With intimate framing, the camera stays close to the skin of the youngsters, making mutual glances and physical tensions palpable. Presale exclusively via the MOOOV website.
