Overview

Robinson, appropriately named as we will soon discover, is on vacation in Biarritz with his wife. What follows is the story behind the loss of his arm, a story that becomes increasingly bizarre and eventually apocalyptic, leading us down a narrative path of labyrinthine complexity. The resulting film is an extraordinary feat of imagination and daring, set against the backdrop of a world on the verge of destruction.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deliriously strange vacation narrative that spirals into apocalyptic chaos, balancing dark comedy with existential dread as reality itself becomes increasingly unreliable. It's a maximalist puzzle-box that rewards viewers comfortable with bewilderment and absurdist stakes.
