Synopsis

A clever and highly embodied variation on the desire for a better life

A crew of civilians are selected for a Mars mission simulation because they have precisely the same personality traits as the astronauts who are actually travelling to the red planet. The experiment is supposed to provide mission control with solutions to any conflicts that may occur among the real crew. Isolated in the desert, the replicate crew soon face their own personality crises.

In collaboration with Musée Dräi Eechelen and with the support of the Délégation Générale du Québec à Bruxelles – Free entry (subject to availability)

Stéphane Lafleur

Born in Saint-Jérôme in Quebec, Canada on 16 June 1976, Stéphane Lafleur studied at the University of Québec in Montréal, where he directed his first short film, Karaoké.

In 2009, he was part of a group of eight Quebec filmmakers chosen to receive funding for their next feature film by the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles. Lafleur obtained the funding for En terrains connus.

His 2014 feature, Tu dors Nicole, was listed as one of Canada’s top ten feature films of that year, as selected by a jury of seven directors and film industry professionals in association with the Toronto International Film Festival.
