Synopsis

Roman, a depressed journalist for Wood Magazine, finds himself in the heart of a black hole in the depths of the forest: a strange area that seems to embody the fears of those who explore it. Joined by Léa, a tenacious scientist, Roman will have to confront his inner demons to… save the world.

 

Note from the artistic direction

Atlas TV production, in association with Imagissime, boldly and intelligently harnesses the potential of generative AI potential, imagining the materialization of a quantum anomaly and the unconscious mind, to address mental health with both seriousness and humor.
